Fostering Knowledge, Community & Identity Through Play

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Anchorage is Dena’ina Ełnena, part of the continued homelands of the Dena’ina Athabascan People who have lived here since time immemorial. The traditional name for this place is Dgheyey Kaq’, meaning “mouth of needlefish.”*

This land acknowledgement is not a performative statement but a commitment to remembering where we have each come from, to act in meaningful ways to honor and support the rights of Indigenous Peoples, to recognize and help reconcile the historical impacts of settlement on Indigenous lands, to the best of our abilities, and to take responsibility for how we engage with each other moving forward.
