Land Acknowledgment
At Michigan Tourist Guide, we acknowledge that the land on which we live, work, and explore is the ancestral homeland of Native tribes. Specifically, the land we occupy in Michigan has been home to a number of tribes, including the Anishinaabe peoples—the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi nations—who have cared for these lands and waters for countless generations.
We honor the enduring relationship that these communities have with this land and its natural resources, and we express our respect for their culture, heritage, and contributions.
As we explore Michigan, we commit to learning more about the history and significance of these lands and the ongoing work of Indigenous peoples to protect and preserve them. We encourage others to join us in this recognition, to help raise awareness, and to foster respect and collaboration with Native communities.
We offer this acknowledgment with humility, gratitude, and a commitment to the shared future of Michigan’s diverse communities.
