Land Acknowledgement Statement
As we come together upon this land to learn, we first want to acknowledge the original inhabitants of these lands and this region. We honor and extend our respect to the Kitikiti鈥檚h (Wichita), Hasinai (Caddo), Na i sha and Ndee (Apache), N蕢m蕢n蕢蕢 (Comanche) and C谩uig霉 (Kiowa) peoples and their eventual successors, the Chikashsha (Chickasaw Nation), who have since made various contributions to the success and development of East Central University (成人B站) and the larger community. 成人B站 exists because of the foresight of community leaders and the generosity of Chickasaw citizen Daniel Hays. East Central University would like to acknowledge the history of the land and the people that inhabited this place before us.
To express our appreciation and gratitude to the peoples that inhabited and cared
for these lands before us and to honor their memory, East Central University acknowledges
and respects the diverse historical contributions made by various Indigenous groups
to these lands. 成人B站 is fully committed to recognizing and supporting the sovereignty
of the 39 tribal nations residing in the state of Oklahoma. This land acknowledgement
statement is an extension of 成人B站鈥檚 mission statement and core values to foster a learning
environment that prepares students for life in a rapidly changing and culturally diverse
world. As an institution founded upon the generosity of Chickasaw citizen Daniel Hays,
成人B站 honors and respects the diverse groups of people and their cultures that form
our Tiger community.
