LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Read by the Native American Student Organization (NASO) “While we gather at San José State University, we are gathered on the ethnohistoric tribal territory of the Thámien Ohlone, who were the direct ancestors of the lineages enrolled in the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, and who were missionized into the Missions Santa Clara, San José, and Dolores The lands on which San José State University is established and continues to be of significance to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. We also recognize that the ancestors of the Muwekma Ohlone constructed and maintained the three Bay Area missions. Our campus extends to surrounding areas that held a tuppentak, a traditional roundhouse which were once located at the historic Lopé Yñigo Landgrant Rancho Posolmi y Pozitas de las Animas (Little Wells of Souls), and also Marcello, Pio, and Cristobal’s Landgrant Rancho Ulistac, which were places of celebration and religious ceremonies, as well as nearby ancestral heritage “shellmounds,” that served as the Tribe’s traditional cemetery sites and territorial monuments. San José State University also desires to honor the military service of the Muwekma men and women who have honorably served overseas during World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, and who are still serving in the United States Armed Forces today.”
