Native American Land Acknowledgement

In the beginning, there was the land. Upon the land walked the Nations of the Delaware, Miami, Mingo, Ottawa, Shawnee, Wyandot and Cayuga. From a place known as Standing Rock, a sacred rock formation in the Cuyahoga River, to the land known as Kent, these peoples lived, hunted, and traded, all the while learning respect for one another, as well as teaching respect for ALL things. Therefore, we ask you now to move beyond words into our facilities, programs, and services, with actions that fully embody a commitment and respect to your education.
