Land Acknowledgement Statement

April 13, 2021

The HERE Center recognizes and acknowledges the Sesevitam, the first people of this ancestral and unceded territory of Sesevenga that is now occupied by our institution.

We honor their elders, past and present, and the Sesevitam descendants who are citizens of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. The HERE Center recognizes that the Sesevitam are still here and we are committed to lifting up their stories, culture, and community.
