Land and Labor Acknowledgements
Land Acknowledgement
Cromwell Valley Park Council acknowledges the history of the land we now steward. It once provided for the Piscataway, Susquehannock, and other Indigenous peoples, who nurtured it for generations. We honor their enduring legacy. We pledge to continue this stewardship tradition by protecting and preserving Cromwell Valley Park.

Labor Acknowledgement
We pay tribute to all those whose labor helped shape this land. These laborers included the enslaved, indentured servants, sharecroppers and settlers. We acknowledge their contributions.
