Land Acknowledgement
The Department of Surgery acknowledges that the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is built on the unceded lands of the Arapaho people. We likewise recognize the perseverance of the more than 70,000 American Indians representing the Southern Ute Indian, Ute Mountain Ute, Arapaho, Apache, Comanche, Shoshone, Cheyenne, and Lakota Tribes, the Navajo Nation, and more for whom Colorado is home. We acknowledge the horrendous histories of genocide and European colonization that caused historical trauma, and catalyzed systems of oppression perpetuating social, financial, emotional, and health care inequalities for Indigenous communities to this day. We commit to learning from these histories, partnering with communities and leaders, and acting with humility as we work to create more justice and equity for our Indigenous neighbors.
