Land Acknowledgement Statement

William Wieland

Northern State University acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the “Oceti Sakowin (o-che-tee sha-koh-ween), an alliance that consists of the Santee, Yankton, and Teton Lakota people,” and is home to many Native Nations indigenous to this area. It is with profound respect that we acknowledge the indigenous peoples of this land past, present and future. As inspired by: A guide to Indigenous land acknowledgment
