Land Acknowledgement | CIIS Skip to Content Division of Community Engagement and Belonging Land Acknowledgement As many of us are descendants of settlers, immigrants, or descendants of those forcefully brought to this continent, we at CIIS recognize and remember that our University’s building on Mission Street in what is now called San Francisco occupies traditional, unceded Ramaytush Ohlone (rah-my-toosh oh-loh-nee) lands. May we continue to hold the Ramaytush Ohlone and all Indigenous communities in our hearts and never forget their painful history as we continue the work of liberation for all. For those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area, we encourage you to make voluntary financial contributions to the Yunakin Land Tax and the Shuumi Land Tax . Read more from the Association for Ramaytush Ohlone on the San Francisco Peninsula, and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust in the East Bay. Native Land Map The Association of Ramaytush Ohlone (ARO) Sogorea Te’ and Shuumi Land Tax Bay Area Equity Atlas For the website native-land.ca , we wanted to share its disclaimer and emphasize that it is a starting resource: “Disclaimer: This map does not represent or intend to represent official or legal boundaries of any Indigenous nations. To learn about definitive boundaries, contact the nations in question. Also, this map is not perfect—it is a work in progress with tons of contributions from the community. Please send us fixes if you find errors.” We encourage all community members visiting this page to engage in continued listening and learning, attend and volunteer at Indigenous community events (in-person or online), and be in supportive relationship with the Indigenous communities, organizations, and people around you. This acknowledgement may be periodically updated to reflect additional resources, voices, and concerns.
