This is a growing database of Land Acknowledgements from US Institutions generated between 2019-2022. Upon click on “Views” on the upper left, you will be able to switch to a “Gallery” view which is more accessible and displays data in a more visually-oriented way. Some universities do not have an official LA, yet DLCs within universities have created, remixed, or adopted LAs that diverge from one another, sometimes in substantial ways.
