I, Erika Hunter, acknowledge that the land on which we gather, work, and live is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Piscataway, Nanticoke, and Susquehannock peoples. To the best of my ability, I honor and pay my respects to the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land throughout the generations and continue to do so today. I recognize their enduring and sacred connection to this land and am committed to supporting Indigenous sovereignty and justice.
