 U. Oklahoma Undergraduate Congress resolution: Students are ‘visitors’ on indigenous land
College Fix Staff •September 14, 2019
 

The University of Oklahoma Undergraduate Student Congress recently passed a resolution mandating that all Student Government Association meetings begin with an acknowledgement that the university sits on indigenous land.

Specifically, the Indigenous Land Acknowledgement Act notes that OU students are “visitors on [indigenous] land,” and gives thanks to any Native Americans present “for allowing [students] to gather.”

It passed by a unanimous vote, 28-0.
