This guide would like to acknowledge that Yale University is located on the traditional and ancestral land of the Quinnipiac - The People of the Long Water Land , the original inhabitants of what is now known as New Haven, Connecticut. We pay respect to the people of the Quinnipiac Tribe, past and present, and honor the land itself which remains sacred to the Quinnipiac People.
