The Loyola University Chicago community acknowledges its location on the ancestral
homelands of the Council of the Three Fires (the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi tribes) and a
place of trade with other tribes, including the Ho-Chunk, Miami, Menominee, Sauk, and
Meskwaki. We recognize that descendants of these and other North American tribes continue to
live and work on this land with us. We recognize the tragic legacy of colonization, genocide, and
oppression that still impacts Native American lives today. As a Jesuit University we affirm our
commitment to issues of social responsibility and justice. We further recognize our
responsibility to understand, teach, and respect the past and present realities of local Native
Americans and their continued connection to this land.
