St. Scholastica Land Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands once home to the Dakota, then the Gitchi Gammi Anishinaabeg (Lake Superior band Ojibwe).
The Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery recognize that our rich Benedictine story does not begin with the βdaisy farmβ and acknowledge that we gather on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, specifically the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Anishinaabe, Nagaajiwanaang, meaning βwhere the water stops.β We recognize the past and present and honor the future of the traditional peoples of this land.Β
ΒιΆΉΣ³», guided by our Benedictine values, commits to growing our relationship with the original inhabitants of this land so that our community can grow stronger together. We are called to learn about the rich history, culture and contributions that have historically been suppressed in telling the story of America. We recognize this land’s original stewards before this beautiful educational institution took shape.
