I acknowledge I occupy space here in baby直播app, where the Native Americans, the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, Lakota, Plains Apache, and Ute have a familial connection and relationship to this land鈥攖heir ancestral lands. S/he is their grandparent, their mother, who has provided for them and for us, and whom we all are obligated to aloha and care for in return.

I acknowledge I am able to occupy this land because of historical events that occurred to the detriment of Native Americans, which caused loss of health, life, language, culture, sovereignty, and the attenuation鈥攊f not outright loss鈥攐f the familial connection between the Indigenous Peoples and this land.

Therefore, in the spirit of healing and beginning to make things right, I acknowledge I am able to live on these homelands originally occupied and tended by the Native People of these places, only at a great (and continuing) cost to the Native Peoples of this land.
