ITEM G-1 SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FROM KRISTEN DORSEY
Sample Land Acknowledgement Language:
"We acknowledge that we are holding this meeting on the traditional, ancestral, and
unceded territory of the Tongva. We recognize the Tongva people as the traditional
land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, So. Channel Islands). We also
acknowledge that Los Angeles county is home to the largest Indigenous populations in
the US."

A map of Los Angeles does not tell the story of its people. In a megalopolis like Los Angeles,
this is a story that is often invisible to policy makers and even the city's notion of itself as a
global crossroads.
