Land Acknowledgment:

I am a descendant of both European settlers and Native ancestry in Wisconsin’s Lake Superior region. Most of our indigenous family culture has been lost, in part due to the forced assimilation that affected my great, great grandmother at the Hayward Indian School. I honor and acknowledge the contemporary and ancestral lands of the native communities in this region called home by the Anishinaabeg/Ojibwe/Chippewa and, as recognized by UMD’s land acknowledgement “before them the Dakota and Northern Cheyenne people, and other Native peoples from time immemorial.”
