Tribal Land Acknowledgement

The Stanford University community recognizes that the university is established within the Puichon Thámien Ohlone-speaking tribal ethnohistoric territory, which includes the ancestral lands of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to honor and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples.

Stanford developed this statement in collaboration with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
