Land Acknowledgment
Local 965 acknowledges that the Fayetteville, Arkansas, area was the historic home of the Osage, Quapaw, Oceti Sakowin (Sioux) and Caddo nations, according to the widely used Native Land Digital. Further, the National Education Association, to which the chapter belongs, recognizes that land acknowledgement is a teaching tool for professionals, students and indeed everyone.
