The George A. and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation

Land Acknowledgment

The Howard Foundation, administered at Brown University, is located in Providence, Rhode Island, on lands that are within the ancestral homelands of the Narragansett Indian Tribe.

In recognition and tribute to the enduring connection of the Narragansett people to the land on College Hill, Brown University has implemented an official Land Acknowledgment statement. This statement aims to acknowledge, honor, and provide a meaningful recognition of the Indigenous peoples and their ties to the land.

Information about the Land Acknowledgment and Brown's Land Acknowledgment Statement can be found on the University's Land Acknowledgment website.
