Land Acknowledgement

A Land Acknowledgement is a formal statement that recognizes and respects indigenous peoples as the stewards of this land who have called and still call the land home before and after the arrival of settlers. Acknowledging the land works to undo the intentional erasure of indigenous peoples and is a first step in decolonizing land relations and supporting reconciliation. We recognize those indigenous people who are from federally recognized tribes, non-federally recognized tribes, those who live on reservations, those who are Urban Raised Indians, those who are indigenous to the Americas and to those who have been de-tribalized; and they are recovering their histories and to those who have no idea that they are in fact indigenous to the Americas because of conquest/colonization/violence/power. For most of Southern California we are probably living on land stolen from the Tongva. They have survived Spanish, Mexican and US governmental invasions and attempts to exterminate them.
Here are some ways to find out whose land we are on:
