The California Native American Legislative Caucus acknowledges the ancestral homelands of the Nisenan, Southern Maidu, Valley and Plains Miwok, Patwin Wintun, and Wilton Rancheria peoples, of the land on which we work on today. Even further, we recognize that all Native American peoples have a deep connection to the land and have made significant contributions to the broader community throughout California, our States, and the world.We respectfully honor the land itself and that we continue to steward the land now and into the future. It is, without a doubt, very important to be inclusive and carry forward these traditional cultural teachings to reflect our commitment and relationships to the Native Americans in the state of California, and across the nation.
