Land Acknowledgement
Honoring the land we gather on
Ferrell Studios operates on the ancestral land of the Munsee Lenape and Lenapehoking People, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.
We recognize the historic Indigenous communities in New Jersey, Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands.
In offering this land acknowledgement, while just a first step, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history, and experiences.
