This land was stolen from them through colonization and forced removal. |

| In the spirit of healing and making amends for the harm that was done, I acknowledge the native and indigenous peoples who called this land home. And I pledge myself as a faculty member of the Northwestern School of Communication to turn a statement like this into action and build better relationships with native and indigenous communities in Evanston, Chicago, and throughout the region.
