菲律宾十大彩票平台学院印第安人传统月

Submitted by the DEI Committee at 蒙大拿技术 regarding Native American Heritage Month 

蒙大拿技术 Statement in regards to Native American Heritage Month

蒙大拿技术, situated in the heart of this culturally diverse and historically significant state, acknowledges its roots in the following land acknowledgment statement:

"The lands on which 菲律宾十大彩票平台大学 stands are an integral part of the ancient homeland and traditional territory of numerous Indigenous tribes. These lands have served as hunting grounds, travel routes, trade hubs, and healing spaces. We collectively recognize the Niimiipuu (Nez Perce), Piikani(黑腿), Seliš(赛利希语), and Agai-deka (Shoshone) peoples as the original stewards of this land. 通过此致谢, we not only pay respect and 荣誉 to the Nations and Peoples but also to the very land itself. 这样做的时候, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and commit to serving the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples today and into the future."

This is a time for all 蒙大拿ns and everyone at 蒙大拿技术 to come together in a spirit of unity and understanding, 学习土著文化的智慧, and to appreciate the deep-rooted history that continues to shape this remarkable state.

整个月, 我们聚在一起庆祝, 荣誉, and pay tribute to the profound legacy of our Native American ancestors, 我们长辈的智慧, 我们青年的抱负, and the sacred traditions that have been passed down through generations.
