Sac State's Draft Land Acknowledgment
Sacramento State acknowledges, with respect, the land our campus is on today was, and continues to be, the homelands of the Indigenous people of this area, the Nisenan, specifically the Nissim-Pawenan, 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.
Sacramento State recognize these lands and riverways as unceded traditional territories of these Native peoples. We further recognize these California Native nations and respect their sovereignty. By offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm the University’s commitment to build relationships and foster a university environment of success to better serve Native nations and communities.
