Sacramento State Draft Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge, with respect, the land our campus is on today was, and continues to be, the homelands of the Indigenous people of this area, the Nissim-Pawenan, Nisenan, and Miwok. The larger Sacramento area and its rivers serve as a gathering place for many local tribes from the surrounding valley and foothills including the Southern Maidu, Patwin, and Wintun. ​

We recognize these lands and riverways as unceded traditional territories of these Native peoples. I further recognize these California Native nations and respect their sovereignty. By offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm a commitment to build relationships and foster a university environment of success to better serve Native nations and communities.​
