Land Acknowledgement
A land acknowledgment is a formal statement that recognizes indigenous peoples and cultures as stewards of the land on which we and our institutions now reside. WNCPA recognizes the intergenerational impact of trauma suffered by native people over the course of more than a century of colonization - during which many natives experienced the loss of their lands, family separation, multigenerational efforts to reduce or eradicate traditional religious practices through evangelization, and general cultural marginalization (Fisher, L.D, 2018).
Here, we honor the Anikituwagi, more commonly known as the Cherokee. The three federally recognized Cherokee tribes are the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Cherokee Nation.
Learn more about land acknowledgements and native lands by visiting the Native Governance Center website and the Native Land Digital website.
