Mocama Land Acknowledgement
More and more people, governments, institutions, and businesses are showing respect and awareness of Indigenous peoples today and their histories by creating land acknowledgments. These can be very detailed or quite short. Because this tour offers so much information about the Mocamas, we are keeping ours short.
We acknowledge and honor the Mocamas, whose unceded utimile (homeland) we are now on. This region was their territory for thousands of years before the French and subsequent European and American colonizers settled them and must always be remembered as Indigenous homelands first and foremost.
For advice on how to develop your own land acknowledgment, see this guide.
