Built on Lenape Land

J. Pierpont Morgan’s Library stands on land that is part of Lenapehoking, the ancestral and spiritual homeland of the Lenape people. The marble blocks of which the Library was constructed were quarried on the ancestral lands of the ᏣᎳᎫᏪᏘᏱ Tsalaguwetiyi (Cherokee, East) and S’atsoyaha (Yuchi) peoples.
