We acknowledge that Plymouth Church in Minneapolis is on the traditional land of the Dakota nation whose stories are rooted here. We are also in close proximity to the Anishinabe and Ho Chunk nations. We honor the land itself and all those who have and continue to steward it throughout the generations.

We acknowledge that indigenous people are not relics of the past but living and proximate today. We open our ears and hearts to their still-speaking voices.

May we work for justice with all of creation in all that we do. May we have reverence and honor for ALL our relations, including ancestors and future generations. We have benefitted from wrong-doing and injustice and we are committed to doing better.
