LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Taken from a Burning Man Project post on October 12, 2020:

"We want to acknowledge that Burning Man Project operates in San Francisco, Reno, and the Black Rock Desert in the territory of American Indian and Indigenous peoples. We host our events and manage land in the desert on the lands of the Numu (Northern Paiute), Nuwu (Southern Paiute), and Newe (Western Shoshone). At least four Numu bands have direct ties to this area. Our Reno office is in the traditional lands of the Washeshu (Washoe) and our HQ in San Francisco is on Ohlone land.

We are learning and will continue to learn about the history of Indigenous peoples. There is more we can do to support Indigenous peoples, address settler colonialism within our culture, and support direct action. For more background and history, see section five of our 2020 sustainability update: https://bit.ly/3jRMqN2 "
