Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! It’s important for us as a cooperative and a space that was able to be owned through crowdfunding efforts, and most importantly owned by the community, to give territorial acknowledgment to the traditional land where we’re able to be a community resource on. • For those who are unfamiliar with the hxstory of Isla Vista. We are on what is known as Chumash land. Chumash meaning “bead makers or seashell people” who are also known as the first peoples of this coastal region. The expanse of Chumash territory goes from Malibu to Paso Robles and as far as the edges of the San Joaquin Valley. The mesa our city resides on was named Anisq’Oyo’ by the Chumash people, which is also what our central park is named after. A lot of us pass through this park daily without knowing the origin of its name. So today for those who are celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day we want to honor the traditional territory as well as the story and contributions of the Chumash people and we encourage everyone to take the time to learn about who they are, and our place in their hxstory that has/ and still affects them to this day. This is just a start. • • #cooperatenotcorporate #nativesarestillhere #indigenouspeoplesday #buildlongertables #landacknowledgement #chumash #occupiedterritory #honornativeland
