Vision in Action No. 147

The purpose of this tribal consultation toolkit is to encourage all faculty, staff, administrators and students to acknowledge the original Nations on whose land we work, learn and live. The California Community Colleges recognizes that land acknowledgements provide a foundation for consultation and relationship building with Tribal governments and partners throughout the state. 

This toolkit was created in collaboration with the National Indian Justice Center, California Indian Museum and Cultural Center, California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center, Naqmayam Communications and Foundation for California Community Colleges. The land acknowledgement statement was developed in partnership with the California Tribal Chairpersons’ Association. Most importantly, this training provides historical and political context, important demographics and the processes and protocols for meaningful and consistent consultation with California Indian Tribes.
