Side by Side respectfully acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the several Native American tribes. We honor the rich history and cultural heritage of these tribes, who have stewarded these lands for generations.
We recognize that indigenous peoples are alive, present, and sustaining their cultures in the Bay Area. They have demonstrated resilience and strength through centuries of challenges and are the past, present, and future caretakers of this land.
We are committed to uplifting the voices and experiences of Native American communities, students, and staff. We actively support initiatives that foster a deeper understanding of their enduring connection to these lands and work towards meaningful partnerships and actions that benefit these communities.
