[Uosenate] Want to read the Land Acknowledgement?

[Senate President]

Dear Senators,

We begin every Senate meeting by having someone read the land acknowledgment, which recognizes that the University of Oregon is located on land stolen from its original inhabitants, the Kalapooya. You can read a bit more here<https://senate.uoregon.edu/senates-land-acknowledgment> about the form and meaning of the acknowledgment.

I am writing this message to request any senator who is interested in reading the land acknowledgment to send me (cc Betina) a quick message to that effect, so we can schedule in who will read is for the remaining 8 Senate meetings this year.

Thank you in advance!
Spike

P.S. For those with anxiety regarding pronunciation of Tribal names, for this year only we have a special offer of advance coaching from a professor of Linguistics who actually works with Native languages of the Americas…

Spike Gildea
Professor of Linguistics
President of the University Senate, 2021-2022
