*We would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water and air: the Susquehannock peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present and future. Today this meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including Bucknell faculty, students, and staff. We hope that our presence and work honors those caretakers of this homeland.
