LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge the Native Nations that, for centuries, have inhabited lands in Arizona, California, and Colorado—where our facilitators reside.
These comprise the ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today.
In Phoenix, Arizona, these include the Akimel O’odham (Pima), Piipaash (Maricopa), and Hohokam Native communities. In Tucson, Arizona, it is the O'odham Jeweḍ, Tohono O'odham, Sobaipuri, and Hohokam communities. In Torrance, California, it is the Tongva community. In Denver, Colorado, it is the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ communities.
We acknowledge these people, their ancestors, their descendants, and the land itself. This statement acknowledges that colonialism is not a past event, but an ongoing process of which we are a part.
Increasing our Cultural Intelligence
is a next step in this process.
