Indigenous Acknowledgments

While some alumni communities have made a longstanding practice of acknowledging the deep and wide connections between themselves and indigenous communities, for others, this is a new tradition or one they are looking to implement. The resources below may be useful in crafting acknowledgments for your community to be shared at the opening of events and/or included on your website.  

• The Harvard Alumni Association Board of Directors Indigenous Acknowledgement

• Harvard University Native American Program Acknowledgment of Land and People

• Learn about the traditional custodians of the land on which you gather by mapping your location to Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages here.
