Land Acknowledgement
Thank you to the UC Berkeley Native American Student Development for the following statement:
We recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of Huichin, the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo Ohlone, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people. We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has, and continues to benefit from the use and occupation of this land, since the institution’s founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold University of California Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
Further Resources:
- UC Berkeley sits on xučyun (Huichin) land. Learn more on the NASD website.
- Listen to the Indigenous United Podcast by the NASD.
- Check what land you are currently occupying at https://native-land.ca/, a site created by Native Land Digital which invites non-Indigenous people to learn more about about the lands they inhabit, the history of those lands, and how to actively be part of a better future going forward.
