The PSCW is held on land which is part of the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in harmony with one another upon this territory for thousands of years. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory.
