The University of Maryland is on Piscataway Land. It was built on a plantation, built by enslaved African Americans, & built for the sole purpose to prevent white people from starving because they did not know the land. Today, on Indigenous Peoples Day, we acknowledge its history

& we sing our resilience apologetically. We will not accept the celebration of genocide. We acknowledge that the furniture on this campus was made by prison labor. We will not be silent. We are more than what Columbus unleashed & what has white supremacy maintained. #NativeTerps
