Land Acknowledgment Statement 

Land acknowledgment is a process by which individuals are prompted to consider the history of the space they currently inhabit.

We would like to recognize that Western Michigan University is located on lands historically occupied by Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadmi nations. Please take a moment to acknowledge and honor this ancestral land of the Three Fires Confederacy, the sacred lands of all indigenous peoples, and their continued presence.
 
The Western Michigan University Land Acknowledgment statement was written in colaboration with the Gun Lake Tribe, The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi tribe, and the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi tribe.
