Land Acknowledgement

The land on which I live and work is located on Dakota and Anishinaabe territories, currently known as Duluth, Minnesota. The settler-colonial project is ongoing, with Native American women and girls disproportionately affected by all forms of violence. By occupying this land, we contribute to the ongoing national crises of sexual assault and genocide of Indigenous women and girls in North America. Find out how to help through the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Indigenous Women.
