Land Acknowledgment

The More Than Human Rights (MOTH) Project has been profoundly shaped and inspired by the wisdom, experience, and creativity of diverse non-human and human communities and leaders, especially Indigenous communities and leaders, around the world. We celebrate and are grateful for their participation in and contribution to the work of the MOTH Project. We also, however, recognize the long and ongoing history of exclusion and erasure of Indigenous people in North America and beyond, and wish to acknowledge that New York University — the institution at which the MOTH Project primarily sits — is located on the unceded territory and ancestral homelands of the Lenape nations, of which the Lenape people were forcibly dispossessed. We wish to honour the significance of this land for Lenape people throughout time, and to express our respect and support for Lenape nations and leaders, past, present and future.
