The work of AISES touches all people of Turtle Island, and as Indigenous people we acknowledge the traditional village sites and original inhabitants of the lands surrounding AISES headquarters: the Tiwa (Tigua) People, particularly the Pueblos of Sandia, Isleta, and Laguna, and the To’hajiilee Band of the Navajo Nation. Like all Native people from time immemorial, the Indigenous nations of New Mexico — Pueblo, Navajo, and Apache — have deep connections to their unceded ancestral land. We acknowledge their stewardship and take this opportunity to thank the original caretakers of this land — past, present, and future.
