Land Acknowledgement

The University of San Francisco resides on the traditional homelands of the Ramaytush Ohlone (pronounced rah-my-toosh oh-loh-nee) tribal nation. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we celebrate the public presence of Ohlone descendants who are working today to preserve and nourish their indigenous identity. We invite you to take a moment to feel the land beneath your feet.  So much has happened on this land that has been centered in violence and injustice and in love and joy.  We can hold this hypocrisy through awareness, dedication to land and racial justice and a commitment to joy as justice.
