We are on Stolen Land
We invite you to join us in acknowledging the Lenape community, on whose land NYU makes it home. We at NYU Steinhardt acknowledge the contributions of all Indigenous people and their continuing struggle to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism. To learn more about the Lenape peoples, please visit the Lenape Center’s website, Instagram page, and Facebook page.
