UNC School of t he Art s nurtures the talent , hones the craft , and develops the unique voices of emerging art ist s. We realize the full potent ial of except ionally creat ive and passionate students to do their best work and become their best selves.

LAND ACKNOW LEDGMENT

It is important for many of us, as set t le-descended persons, to consider how the land we occupy cont inues to interrupt the cultural, linguist ic, historical and polit ical connect ions that ind igenous peoples have to this land. We must cont inue to recognize how we have, w it t ing ly and unw it t ing ly, remained as actors in the colonizat ion of what we regard as our orig inal context of teaching and learning. UNCSA is on the ancest ral land of the Tuleto, Sappony, Catawba and Keyauwee t ribes.

A land acknow ledgment g ives honor to and recognizes ind igenous territories and ind igenous people respect ive to the locat ion(s) we current ly work and live. A land acknow ledgment serves as a reminder that the land you current ly occupy has long been occupied by ind igenous peoples who have a d ist inct linguist ic, cultural and historical connect ion to the land.
