ߣߣÊÓƵ University’s Land Acknowledgement

ߣߣÊÓƵ University is located within the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who, along with other indigenous groups, ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The ߣߣÊÓƵ people, whose name our university carries, were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846.

In 1972, a relationship between ߣߣÊÓƵ University and the ߣߣÊÓƵ Tribe of Oklahoma began and evolved into a reciprocal partnership, including the creation of the Myaamia Center at ߣߣÊÓƵ University in 2001. The work of the Myaamia Center serves the ߣߣÊÓƵ Tribe community and is dedicated to the revitalization of ߣߣÊÓƵ language and culture and to restoring that knowledge to the Myaamia people.

ߣߣÊÓƵ University and the ߣߣÊÓƵ Tribe are proud of this work and of the more than 140 Myaamia students who have attended ߣߣÊÓƵ since 1991 through the Myaamia Heritage Award Program.
