Land Acknowledgement: I recognize that our school community in Pilsen stands on the traditional homelands of the Three Fires Confederacy—the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations—as well as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and other Indigenous peoples who have lived, learned, and cared for this land for generations.
We honor their ongoing connection to this place and express gratitude for the opportunity to learn and grow on this land together. We also acknowledge the vibrant Indigenous communities who continue to call Chicago home today.
