土著和土著承诺

皮马社区学院 supports and 庆祝 its relationship with all tribal, 阿拉斯加土著, 土著居民. 皮马社区学院坐落在Tohono O 'odham民族的土著土地上，也是Pascua Yaqui民族的延伸家园. 皮马社区学院还支持来自亚利桑那州所有22个联邦承认的土著民族的学生, as well as the 574 federally recognized native nations in the United States. 世界各地都有土著居民，皮马社区学院有潜力为他们中的任何一个人服务.

因此，皮马社区学院致力于提供服务和教育，颂扬土著文化和管理，同时也认识到流离失所和被剥夺的历史. 例如, the Tohono O’odham Nation is the second largest reservation in Arizona, allocated in the south central to western part of the state, 一直到墨西哥边境. 帕斯夸亚基人, whose traditional homelands are along the Yaqui River in Mexico, fled to South Arizona to escape genocide and 奴隶制 by the Mexican government. From this 承诺 皮马社区学院 acknowledges, 庆祝, and affirms the lands we are on the sovereignty of the various native nations.

What is a Land and Labor Acknowledgement and Why Go Beyond?

什么是土地确认?

传统上, 土地承认是许多土著民族和社区的一种习俗，可以追溯到几个世纪以前，既是对土地管理的尊重，也是对土地所有者的认可. 今天, 土地承认是土著人民和非土著人民用来纪念土著人民的，他们是我们现在生活的土地的原始管家, as well as to recognize the displacement and dissociation that has historically occurred. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a 过去的 tense, or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our 现在 participation.

什么是劳动致谢书?

Labor acknowledgements have been developed to acknowledge the history of colonialism, 奴隶制, and immigration that have laid the foundation of the United States. 它们源于土地承认概念，是一种教育和尊重牺牲的方式, 压迫, 以及黑人正在进行的斗争, 棕色（的）, 还有其他被奴役的群体, 用作自由和强制劳动, and continue to live with the costs from those systems. 比如土地确认, 对劳工的承认不仅仅是对过去的承认，也是对改善和克服今天仍然存在的压迫性制度的承诺.

Why and how does 皮马社区学院 acknowledge the land and labor?

皮马社区学院’s history and mission include equity, 社会正义, 多样性, 包容, 和归属感. 自联合国成立以来，这些原则一直是该机构的一部分，并继续在其各系统中得到体现. 像所有的组织和人一样, 言语不是工作, 因此，皮马社区学院用这些认可来提醒自己和社区这些价值观, 促进对改善和改变压迫性和种族主义制度和行为的持续行动的承诺.
It shares its land acknowledgment before public events, 在重要材料中, 以及其他重要的聚会. It encourages others to also use 土地和劳动力确认. 然而, it is important to note that acknowledgments must be given with respect, 尊严, 以及对他们意图的承诺.

超越土地和劳动承认

致谢有两个功能, 他们教育那些经历过他们的人关于土著土地和它的主权，以及在建立美国的奴隶制和压迫的历史. They also honor the sacrifices, experiences, and stewardships of those same peoples and lands.

但是，确认不是动作. While many of the actions resulting in this historical context occurred in the 过去的, the ramifications are still experienced by Indigenous, 黑色的, 棕色（的）, 和今天的其他人. Organizations and individuals cannot change the 过去的, but we can 工作 to change lingering systems that continue to oppress, 拥抱的偏见, and keep individuals from realizing the American dream.
