Land acknowledgments
绿奴天花板 system
A new 绿奴天花板 system land acknowledgment is being developed by the ANSI work group.
绿奴天花板A
绿奴天花板A recognizes and values the diversity of our unique location in Southcentral Alaska, the ancestral lands of the Dena鈥檌na, Ahtna, Alutiiq/Sugpiaq, Chugachmiut, and Eyak peoples.
绿奴天花板F
We acknowledge the Alaska Native nations upon whose ancestral lands our campuses reside. In Fairbanks, our Troth Yeddha鈥 Campus is located on the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River.
绿奴天花板S
Our campuses reside on the unceded territories of the 脕ak始w 岣磜谩an, Taant始谩 岣磜谩an, and Sheetk始谩 岣磜谩an on Ling铆t Aan铆, also known as Juneau, Ketchikan, and Sitka, Alaska. We acknowledge that Ling铆t Peoples have been stewards of the land on which we work and reside since time immemorial, and we are grateful for that stewardship and incredible care. We also recognize that our campuses are adjacent to the ancestral home of the X瘫aadas and Ts鈥檓syen and we commit to serving their peoples with equity and care. We recognize the series of unjust actions that attempted to remove them from their land, which includes forced relocations and the burning of villages. We honor the relationships that exist between Ling铆t, X瘫aadas, and Ts鈥檓syen peoples, and their sovereign relationships to their lands, their languages, their ancestors, and future generations. We aspire to work toward healing and liberation, recognizing our paths are intertwined in the complex histories of colonization in Alaska. We acknowledge that we arrived here by listening to the peoples/elders/lessons from the past and these stories carry us as we weave a healthier world for future generations.
