## Caption

Long before Akron was a city, the Portage Path carried canoes between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas rivers.

The people who traveled that path were the First People of this land. Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor them:

“We honor and acknowledge the First People to occupy this land that today we call Akron. The names they used to identify themselves are largely unknown to us. However, the Native American nations who were stewards of this land before the arrival of the first Europeans included the Seneca and Cayuga from the Iroquoian (ee·ruh·kwoy·uhn) confederacy, the Huron, the Shawnee, the Ojibwe (ow·jeeb·wei) or Chippewa, and the Lenni Lenape, (leh·nee leh·nuh·pee) who were also called ‘Delaware.’ We recognize that we owe a debt to these Indian nations who were forcibly removed from the land they sustained for hundreds of years.”

Land Acknowledgement written by Dave Lieberth, former Chairman of the Board of the Summit County Historical Society.
