¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ’s Land Acknowledgement

¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who, along with other indigenous groups, ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846.

In 1972, a relationship between ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ and the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Tribe of Oklahoma began and evolved into a reciprocal partnership, including the creation of the Myaamia Center at ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ in 2001. The work of the Myaamia Center serves the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Tribe community and is dedicated to the revitalization of ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ language and culture and to restoring that knowledge to the Myaamia people.

¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ and the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Tribe are proud of this work and of the more than 140 Myaamia students who have attended ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ since 1991 through the Myaamia Heritage Award Program.
