INDIGENOUS LAND USE STATEMENT
We acknowledge the land which we occupy today as the traditional home of the
Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwok tribal nations. These sovereign people have been
the caretakers of this land since time immemorial. Despite centuries of genocide and occupation the Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwok continue as vibrant and
resilient tribes and bands, both Federally recognized and unrecognized. We
take this opportunity to acknowledge the generations that have gone before as
well as the present-day Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwok people.
