We reserve this space on our homepage for social justice advocacy resources.
We acknowledge that our Tallahassee offices at Florida State University are located on the ancestral and traditional homelands of the Apalachee Nation, the Muscogee Nation, the Miccosukee Tribe of Florida, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. We pay respect to their tribal members past and present, to their descendants, and to all Indigenous peoples.
We recognize that this land was forcibly taken from these Indigenous peoples and altered through settler colonial violence and dispossession, and we recognize that simply acknowledging this isn’t enough. We will seek out ways that we can support advocacy for Indigenous people and better honor the relationships these Indigenous Nations maintain with this land. If you have suggestions of advocacy resources we can help share or other actions we can take, please email our Editor.
