The Summer Liberal Arts Institute (SLAI) adopts Carleton Colleges land acknowledgement statement, which was crafted in tandem with the city of Northfield and St. Olaf College in November 2020:
We stand on the homelands of the Wahpekute and Mdewakanton* bands of the Dakota Nation. We honor with gratitude the people whove stewarded the land through the generations and their ongoing contributions to this region. We acknowledge the ongoing injustices that we have committed against the Dakota Nation, and we wish to interrupt this legacy, beginning with acts of healing and honest storytelling about this place.
*These are the easternmost two groups of the seven that make up the Lakota/Dakota (Sioux) People.
We invite you to learn more about land acknowledgement and the land you inhabit.
