SanDiego350 Land Acknowledgement: SanDiego350 acknowledges that we are on the ancestral lands of the Kumeyaay people, the original native inhabitants of San Diego County. The Kumeyaay, Yuman-speaking people of Hokan stock, have lived in this region for more than 10,000 years.
We pay respect to the Kumeyaay elders past and present. You are invited to take a moment to consider the legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today.
