The conference gathers on the Land of the Lenni-Lenape. We honor the Lenape and other Indigenous caretakers of these lands and waters, the elders who lived here before, the Indigenous today, and the generations to come.

The Lands on which the conference organizers live and work are part of the ancient homelands and traditional, unceded territory of the Munsee Lenape, the Canarsie, Unkechaug, Matinecock, Shinnecock, Reckgawanc and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy peoples. We pay respect to the many Indigenous peoples past, present, and future and their continuing presence in the homeland and throughout the diaspora.

The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) is a group of dedicated astrophysicists, historians, and anthropologists at Princeton University and the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) at the Flatiron Institute in New York City who are committed to making academia a more inclusive place. They hope that their work for the Peoples’ Sky Conference will be continued for years to come across many academic institutions.
