Land Acknowledgement

We are on the unceded, sacred land of the O’odham and Piipaash Peoples and their Huhugam and Piipaash Nykor ancestors. We acknowledge and celebrate the On’k Akimel O’odham (Salt River Pima) and Xalychidom Piipaash (Maricopa) communities, their elders, both past and present, and generations to come. They are the original stewards of this land, and we are humbled to reside here. There are twenty-two federally recognized tribes in Arizona, and we honor the many diverse Indigenous peoples connected to this land that has sustained their people for centuries. They are an important part of our history, our present, and our future. We also invest in the future of contemporary tribal members. As an arts and culture organization, it is our duty to uplift the artists and activists doing this work. We have been honored to collaborate with many visual artists and performers, representing numerous tribes, on Scottsdale Arts events and exhibitions through the years.
