Stag Hill - ‘The Hill’ - bears a tremendous amount of memory for Ramapough people, with sacred sites and a collectively protective ancestral spirit.

The land hosts the main community center, community garden beds and fire pit, sacred boulders, a ceremonial maintained and protected area, a garage/storage shed, with an adjacent park.

RMI is located at 189 Stag Hill Rd. in Mahwah, NJ.

A sacredly protected contested land, Halifax is a ceremonial ground with critical history that lives through the hearts and the minds of Ramapough people collectively.

RMI also manages locations like Halifax Grounds.

Thankfully, it takes a community to manage these plant asset resources, for people to stand on, and for new life to be planted and to grow from!

Thank you to everyone who helps us take care. Anushiik!
