Land Acknowledgement
I wish to acknowledge that I am a settler on the ancestral & stolen land of the Bodéwadmik (Potawatomi), Hoocąk (Winnebago/Ho’Chunk), Jiwere (Otoe), Nutachi (Missouria), and Baxoje (Iowas); Kiash Matchitiwuk (Menominee); Meshkwahkîha (Meskwaki); Asâkîwaki (Sauk); Myaamiaki (Miami), Waayaahtanwaki (Wea), and Peeyankihšiaki (Piankashaw); Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo); Inoka (Illini Confederacy); Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe), and Odawak (Odawa).
I honor their contributions and am grateful to have the opportunity to work on this territory. It is my personal commitment to continue to learn, unlearn and share what I have learned with others about the history of indigenous people and their contributions to our past, present and future.
Below are some links about the Peoria, Potawatomi, Miami, and Kickapoo people and more information on native lands, and land acknowledgements.
