Land Acknowledgement

We humbly acknowledge that Johns Hopkins University is located on the traditional and contemporary homelands of Indigenous people.

Our campus resides on unceded lands of the Piscataway, and Susquehannock peoples.

We recognize the enduring presence of more than 7,000 Indigenous peoples in Baltimore City, including Piscataway, Lumbee, Eastern Band of Cherokee and many others represented by our Indigenous students, faculty, staff and local Indigenous agency partners.

Together, we acknowledge the history of genocide and ongoing systemic inequities that have impacted Indigenous intergenerational traumas and health disparities.

We give thanks to the past, present, and future stewards of this land and recognize tribal nations’ sovereignty and right to self-determination based on past and present treaty rights.

We aim to hold ourselves and the university community accountable to advancing tribal health equity.
