LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We are gathered on the traditional homeland of the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq
people.
KIB acknowledges that we are gathered in the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq
homeland. We thank and acknowledge the 10 tribes of the Kodiak
Alutiiq Region. The heritage and culture of the Alutiiq people continue
to enrich our communities.
Where we gather today is in the ancient homeland and traditional
territory of the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq people. The name Kodiak is based on
the Alutiiq word Qik’rtaq, iik shstuck, meaning Island.
I would like to acknowledge that the land we live, work, learn and
gather on is the original homeland of the Alutiiq/Sugpiak people.
We recognize the complex history and rich culture of our native
community. We acknowledge a sometimes-difficult history and the
resilience of the Alutiiq families who make up an important part of our
community today.
We believe it is important to state this land acknowledgement because
we know that real history is too soon forgotten.
