This land is the traditional territory of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara. Land acknowledgements are a way people insert an awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights into everyday life, often at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, and educational guides. They are an explicit yet limited way to recognize the history of colonialism and First Nations as well as a need for change in settler-colonial societies. A map connected with this subject is intended for educational purposes, is imperfect, and does not represent official or legal boundaries of Indigenous nations; definitive boundaries should be obtained from the nation itself.
