LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ACPA College Student Educators International acknowledges, with respect, that the land on which our ACPA25 Convention is taking place is part of the traditional unceded homelands of the Tongva/Gabrielen o, the Acjachemen/Juanen o, and the Toongvetam peoples as well as a significant place of cultural knowledge and sacred teachings for many other tribes. This land, called Tovaangar, is home to Puvungna, the gathering place, the place of emergence in the origin traditions of the Tongva and Acjachemen peoples. We recognize that that Puvungna is sacred land of extraordinary cultural significance that continues to serve as an active ceremonial ground today. We acknowledge that Puvungna, and the entirety of Tovaangar, remains unceded and unjustly occupied. As visitors to Tovaangar, we affirm our responsibility to listen, to learn, and to work for justice in this land. Beyond acknowledging the land and in recognition of the impacts of historical and ongoing settler colonialism, including that perpetuated by North American institutions of higher education, ACPA actively commits to supporting professionals in higher education in decolonizing their practice and scholarship through our mission, values, and the Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization.
