We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of numerous Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this continent for thousands of years. We recognize and honor the enduring presence and resilience of Native American tribes across the United States.

​

This land has been home to many nations, including but not limited to:

• The Cherokee, Navajo, and Sioux, some of the largest tribes in the country today

• The Ojibwe (Chippewa), Choctaw, and Apache nations

• The Lumbee, Pueblo, and Muscogee (Creek) peoples

• The Haudenosaunee, Inuit, and Blackfeet communities

• The Tongva, Tataviam, Serrano, Kizh, and Chumash peoples of the Los Angeles area

 

We recognize that this list is not exhaustive, as there are 574 federally recognized tribes in the United States, each with their own rich history and culture. We also acknowledge the state-recognized tribes and those still seeking recognition.

​

We honor the past, present, and future generations of Native Americans who have cared for these lands. We commit to respecting and preserving Indigenous cultures, supporting tribal sovereignty, and working towards reconciliation and healing from the impacts of colonization.

As we benefit from living and working on these lands, we pledge to be responsible stewards and to support Indigenous communities in their ongoing efforts to protect and nurture the earth for future generations.
