UAII is dedicated to preserving our Native languages, cultures, and traditions. We provide classes, workshops, and events that embrace and preserve our cultural heritage by passing it on to the next generations.
We invite any organization in the greater Los Angeles area to use this land acknowledgment during meetings and events to provide a culturally appropriate recognition of our Native American and Alaskan Native people, heritage, culture and traditions.
We acknowledge that United American Indian Involvement (UAII) is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Tongva peoples. We honor and respect the enduring relationship that Indigenous peoples have maintained with this land for thousands of years. We would like to pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and choose to honor and acknowledge the original stewards of this land in hopes of building mutual respect and understanding across all cultures – those that reside here and those that pass through here today and in the future.
