This land holds great historical, spiritual, and personal significance for its original stewards of the Native nations. I further recognize that my language of American Sign Language has roots in the cultures and signed languages of Indigenous people in North America, including Plains Indian Sign Language. I recognize, continually support and advocate for the sovereignty of the Native nations in this territory and beyond, and the preservation and teaching of Native American signed and spoken languages. By offering this land acknowledgment, I affirm tribal sovereignty and will work to hold myself, my workplaces, and my affiliations accountable to American Indian peoples and Nations.
