  2. “Decolonization brings about the repatriation
    of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor
    for other things we want to do to improve our societies
    and schools.”
    — Eve Tuck, State University of New York at New Paltz, and K. Wayne Yang, University of California, San Diego

  4. What is a Land Acknowledgment?

    View Slide

  5. Land Acknowledgment
    is a formal statement that
    recognizes and respects
    Indigenous Peoples as
    traditional stewards of this
    land and the enduring
    relationship that exists
    between Indigenous
    Peoples and their
    traditional territories.

  6. Land Acknowledgment is a transformative act
    To counter the “doctrine of discovery”
    with the true story of the people who have
    been living and are stewards of this land for
    continuously for thousands of years
    To confront our place on Native Lands and
    build mindfulness of our present
    participation in ongoing colonial legacies
    To create a broader public awareness of
    the history that has led to this moment
    To begin to repair relationships with
    Indigenous communities and with the land
    To offer recognition, honor and respect
    for local Indigenous protocol
    To affirm our responsibility to amplify
    and center Indigenous voices and to
    work towards ongoing action and
    relationship
    To teach and promote greater public
    consciousness of Indigenous sovereignty
    and cultural rights

  16. Going remote/hybrid… now what?
    We want to acknowledge that California College
    of the Arts is situated on the traditional lands of the
    Ohlone peoples past, present and future. This
    includes the Muwekma, Esselen and the
    Amah-Mutsun. I would also like to acknowledge
    that you are joining us today from many places,
    near and far, and acknowledge the traditional
    owners and caretakers of those lands.

  17. ● Language and guidelines will soon be available on the CCA
    website and Portal
    ● Can be verbal, visual, or written
    ● Email signature, meeting agendas, syllabi, etc.
    ● A living document that can and will change over time
    ● Land Acknowledgment by itself is a small gesture. It becomes meaningful
    when coupled with authentic relationships and informed actions.
    When can I start practicing Land Acknowledgment?
