Land Acknowledgement Statement
The University of South Florida St. Petersburg campus and the AIESEP 2025 local organizing committee wish to acknowledge and honor the Indigenous communities who lived and took stewardship of this land. The university and the local organizing committee recognize that this campus was built on the Indigenous homelands and resources of the Seminole, Miccosukee, and Tocobaga people as well as their ancestors going back over 10,000 years. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from their territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous people still connected to this land on which we gather. This is a call for all of us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit.
This land acknowledgement was created with input from the Seminole tribe of Florida. More information can be found at the links below:
