The San Juan Unified School District acknowledges that our schools are located on the ancestral lands of the Nisenan and Miwok peoples, who continue to care for this land as they have since time immemorial. We deeply respect their ongoing connection to this land and recognize their resilience in preserving and revitalizing their cultures and traditions despite historical and ongoing challenges.

We recognize the profound injustices endured by their ancestors, including genocide, forced assimilation, and displacement, and we remain aware of the ongoing challenges and injustices they face today. As we advance in our commitment to equity and inclusion, we pledge to strengthen our connections by fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and active collaboration with their communities.
