Land Acknowledgement

PS 295 Brooklyn stands on land that is part of the unceded, ancestral homeland of the Lenape Delaware people. As a sign of respect, we recognize and honor the Lenape Delaware Nations, their elders past and present, and future generations.

We annually welcome our partners at The Redhawk Native American Arts Council to host school-wide educational events that represent North American, South American, Central American, Caribbean, and Polynesian Indigenous cultures.

We are committed to addressing exclusions and erasures of Indigenous peoples, and confronting the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism in our school curriculum.
