Peoples & Land Acknowledgment

We respectfully acknowledge that our office sits on the ancestral homeland of the Osage, Cherokee, Caddo, and Quapaw Nations, who owned and cared for this land until settlers drove them out. A portion of the Removal runs through our community and region, where people of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee, Chickasaw, and Seminole Nations passed on a death march to Indian Territory. We acknowledge that this land is sacred, historical, and significant, as are the lands of all First Nations People.
