We recognize that the University of California at Berkeley sits on the territory of Huichin, the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo Ohlone, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has, and continues to benefit from the use and occupation of this land, since UC Berkeley’s founding in 1868. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and our pledge to work to hold our university and ourselves more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
