Land Acknowledgement

Conference attendees will gather on the past, present, and future lands of the Anishinaabe, specifically the Fond Du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The City of Duluth is located on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people, lands cared for and called home by the Ojibwe people, the Dakota and Northern Cheyenne people, and other Native peoples from time immemorial. Ceded in the 1854 Treaty, this land holds both historical and present-day ancestral, spiritual, cultural, legal and personal significance for the Native nations and peoples of this region, in particular the Ojibwe.
