Indigenous People & Land Acknowledgement

The Bolinas-Stinson Beach Union School District acknowledges that our school campuses stand on traditional territories of the Coastal Miwok and Southern Pomo people, past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the early stewards who lived here throughout the generations. This calls us to commit to continuing to better steward this place we inhabit, as we give thanks for the ability to learn and work on their traditional lands. We also must recognize and remember with deep sorrow, the genocide of these Indigenous People in California, and the system of inequities that persists today because of our past and present state of colonialism. We acknowledge the enduring presence of Aboriginal Peoples on this land.
