Forsyth Library Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that [Forsyth Library/FHSU] and the state of Kansas is historically home to many Indigenous nations, including the Kaw, Osage, and Pawnee, among others. Furthermore, Kansas is the current home to four federally recognized Native nations: The Prairie Band Potawatomie, the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas, the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, and Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska. We honor the Indigenous people on whose traditional and ancestral homelands we stand. 

It is important to acknowledge the ancestors of this place and recognize that we are here because of the sacrifices forced upon them. In remembering these communities, we honor their legacy, their lives, and their descendants.
