Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the Department of Anthropology stands on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Keyauwee, Tutelo, Saponi, and other Indigenous peoples whose names have been lost, but who stewarded this land for generations. We honor and respect the diverse Native communities who came here to camp, hunt, and trade for centuries including the Saura, Catawba, Cherokee, and Lumbee. We acknowledge the history of violence and displacement from this land, and we honor the vibrant Native communities who make their home here today. Please join us in recognizing the Indigenous people of this land, past and present.

Mark your calendar! We will celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day with a screening of the documentary "Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya" on Sunday, October 13, at 4pm, at the Kulynych Auditorium in Byrum Welcome Center. The film tells the story of a small group of Blackfeet people and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near-extinction a century ago. The film will be followed by a discussion with National Impact Producer Candice Dalsing and CEO of Blackfeet ECO Knowledge Tyson Running Wolf.
The event will end with a reception catered by Native Root.Mark your calendar!
