Land Acknowledgement

English Version:

We pause to acknowledge that Santa Clara University sits on the land of the Ohlone and Muwekma Ohlone people, who trace their ancestry through the Missions Dolores, Santa Clara, and San Jose. We remember their connection to this region and give thanks for the opportunity to live, work, learn, and pray on their traditional homeland. Let us take a moment of silence to pay respect to their Elders and to all Ohlone people of the past and present.

Spanish Version:

Tomamos un momento para reconocer que la Universidad de Santa Clara ha sido fincada en tierra del grupo indigena Ohlone y Muwekma Ohlone, quien traza su ascendencia por las Misiones Dolores, Santa Clara, y San José. Recordamos su conexión en esta región y damos gracias por tener la oportunidad de vivir, trabajar, aprender, y poder rezar en su tierra natal. Tomemos un minuto de silencio como respeto a los Mayores y toda persona Ohlone del pasado y del presente.
