Youth on Record acknowledges that we are on the stolen lands of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (The Great Sioux Nation), Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), Tséstho’e (Cheyenne), and hinono’eino’ biito’owu’ (Arapaho) peoples.
Both the State of Colorado and the United States Government carried out genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced removal against these peoples a way to acquire land.
We honor that our organization stands on what is still and will always be sacred and ancestral Indigenous land. We continue to seek concrete avenues to support our Indigenous neighbors here in the Greater Denver Area who are an integral and cherished part of our community.
Land acknowledgement is only one small part of supporting Indigenous communities. This work continues for Youth on Record.
