Land Acknowledgement

Our work in developing an app that highlights trees on the Ohio State University has brought us into conversations about the historical trees here, as well as the history of the land the university sits upon. We felt it appropriate to acknowledge the indigenous people who once called this land their home. With the recommendations of the Office of Student Life Multicultural Center, we will be including this land acknowledgement into our app.

“The Ohio State University is situated on the traditional homelands of the Shawnee, Delaware, Miami and Wyandot Nations. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the 45 Indigenous Nations that continue to connect with this land today”.
