We; the undersigned, do hereby support the Ramapough Lenape Nation's request to rename the First Avenue extension from East 125th Street to the 127th Street Viaduct entrance to the Waterfront “Lenape Pathway”, and we further call for the development of an Indigenous Cultural Center Waterfront Park dedicated to the Lenape along the East Harlem River from East 125th to 131th Street in CB11, Manhattan. Currently, there is no substantial monument to the Lenape in NYC. These acts offer a unique historic and educational opportunity to celebrate NY’s racial and cultural diversity while paying homage to the first Americans

Businessman Jose Gonzalez Freire and the town of Arecibo in Puerto Rico are planning to erect a 295 ft statue of Christopher Columbus by 2015. For Indigenous Peoples throughout the Americas, Columbus is a symbol of Genocide, not a hero to be celebrated. We call on Jose Gonzalez Freire, Arecibo Mayor Carlos Molina, and Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla to abandon this project.
El empresario José González Freire y el municipio de Arecibo en PuertoRico, planifican erigir para el 2015, una estatua de Cristóbal Colón de 295 pies. Para los Pueblos Indígenas de Las Américas, Colón es un símbolo de Genocidio, no un héroe que ha de celebrarse. Hacemos un llamado a José González Freire, Carlos Molina (Alcalde de Arecibo), y al Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla para que abandonen este proyecto.
