LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Avi Kwa Ame mountain and the land within Avi Kwa Ame National Monument is considered sacred to at least twelve different local tribes, including the Mojave, Hualapai, Yavapai, Havasupai, Quechan, Maricopa, Pai Pai, Halchidhoma, Cocopah, Kumeyaay, Nuwuvi (Southern Paiute) and Hopi. For the ten Yuman-speaking tribes, Spirit Mountain is considered their origin place.
We offer gratitude for the land itself, for those who have stewarded it for generations, and for the opportunity to protect, advocate for, learn from, and be in community with this land.
