We recognize our country’s establishment by colonialism and its violent impact upon
people of color, specifically the Indigenous Paiute, Shoshone and Washoe people, whose
ancestral homeland was stolen and developed into what is now known as Nevada. The

cultural awareness, social responsibility, and measurable actions to support and benefit the
Indigenous people who are living alongside us, on the land we occupy today
