AcknowledgementAcknowledgements:

We acknowledge these are the ancestral homelands of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe.
We acknowledge this land was taken repeatedly with no compensation or regard for the lives and ways of the original people.
We acknowledge the Nisenan people are still here among us today, through they are nearly invisible and their story continues to be excluded from history.
We acknowledge we are settlers here, that we live, love and work on land the Nisenan never ceded.
As a resident on Nisenan land, we support the Nevada City Rancheria Tribe in efforts to stabilize their people as well as the campaign to restore tribal sovereignty through federal recognition.
