Legislative Commission on Indian Services (LCIS)</a> recently released guidance on land acknowledgments that we thought might be helpful to libraries. LCIS is composed of a representative from each of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon, as well

<p class="MsoNormal">The guidance is available on <a href="https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oregonlegislature.gov%2Fcis%2FPages%2Feducation.aspx&data=05%7C01%7CBuzzy.NIELSEN%40slo.oregon.gov%7C5015ae1b7a3f4767b4e708daad500ad7%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638012856545075808%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=c0DS1EuGABpvaW10l9DlwGOHGUluVWdFL9ZcgiVW8ME%3D&reserved=0">

<p class="MsoNormal">LCIS emphasizes that Tribes and tribal members have varying thoughts about the value of such statements. If your organization is looking to craft a land acknowledgement, LCIS advises that “it is critical to consult with the Tribes that
you are acknowledging”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The linked page and LCIS’s website generally include other valuable information about Tribal and local/state government-to-government relations, Tribal sovereignty, cultural artifact repatriation, and more.<o:p></o:p></p>
