UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
INTRODUCTION
Since its opening in 1925, The University of Baltimore has sought to improve lives through education and career development. Its founders—a group of civic leaders who were concerned about the well-being of the citizens of Baltimore—pursued a set of goals that were reasonable and well-intended; namely, to educate residents of metropolitan Baltimore and beyond in preparation for good jobs and public service. The institution was built on these principles, and it has thrived in the decades since.
The following statement intends to address the establishment of the institution on lands that were populated by indigenous peoples.
OUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The University of Baltimore was established on the traditional and contemporary homelands of various groups, including members of the Accohannock Indian Tribe, the Assateague Peoples Tribe, the Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians, the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, the Indian Nation, the Pocomoke Indian Nation, the Lumbee People, and the Youghiogheny River Band of Shawnee Indians. These natives were the original settlers of the area that eventually became the colony known as Maryland, and the city known as Baltimore.
The University of Baltimore respectfully recognizes the disparities that existed between indigenous peoples and the colonialists. On a parcel of land in the central city, the University was built. Now, 100 years after our founding, we seek a better understanding between all human beings, and we strive to build a stronger foundation upon which all of us may grow. As was stated at our founding, The University of Baltimore is a place where an education is attainable, and improvement is possible.
