CMSAI seeks to provide education and information on the Native American Mound Group on campus and to uplift and share indigenous people’s histories, 文化, and current perspectives.

Beloit is located on the traditional territory of Indigenous peoples, and we want to respectfully acknowledge the Potawatomi, 皮奥瑞亚, 迈阿密, Meskwaki, and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) people who have stewarded this land throughout countless generations. We pay respects to their elders both past and present and, as we gather here, we consider the legacies of violence, 位移, and settlement that they have faced. We are always on Indigenous land, and here on the campus we have a constant reminder in the form of the mounds. To recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those on whose territory you reside, and a way of honoring Indigenous people. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense, or outside historical context: colonialism is an ongoing process, and we need to build our mindfulness of our present participation.
