Land Acknowledgement
Posted: February 2021

As a place-based organization that cares deeply about the city of Baltimore, the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation acknowledges that all our work, whether virtual or in-person, takes place on the unceded ancestral lands of the Piscataway, Susquehannock, and Nentego (Nanticoke) peoples. We also acknowledge that Baltimore is home to a living community of Lumbee, who migrated to the Upper Fells Point and Washington Hill areas of the city beginning in the 1930s. We offer our respect and gratitude to the indigenous peoples’ past, present and future, whose custodial responsibility we benefit from. We also acknowledge the land stolen from these nations, whether through colonization, broken treaties, and/or forced removal, and their inherent right to self-determination.
