The Latin American Studies Center at CU Boulder acknowledges that the University has developed and continues to operate upon native land, within the territories of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho Peoples. Furthermore, we acknowledge the 48 Tribal Nations that are historically tied to what is today called Colorado.
We also wish to recognize that this event takes place online and that our virtual spaces and technological devices have environmental consequences.
We acknowledge that many of us join this event remotely from the lands of other Indigenous Peoples who, across regions and continents, continue to feel the daily effects of settler colonialism. We are committed to honoring Indigenous rights to land, and Indigenous languages, science, art, and governance in the Americas.
“chay ñawpaq runakunata, allyunkunata, suyunkunata, mamasiminkunata ima ñuqayku yuyayku tukuysunquywan.” [In Quechua: To our first inhabitants, communities, first territories and languages: We remember them, we recognize them wholeheartedly]
