The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples, who have lived in harmony with the land since time immemorial.
We honor their enduring presence and the generations who have stewarded this land. We also acknowledge that Indigenous people from many nations live and contribute to this region today. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. is committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and supporting their ongoing fight for justice and sovereignty.
The Sisters acknowledge that we occupy the unceded Ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. We recognize that the Ramaytush Ohlone understand the interconnectedness of all things and have maintained harmony with nature for millennia.
We honor the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples for their enduring commitment to Mother Earth. As the Indigenous protectors of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramaytush Ohlone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. We recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland.
As uninvited guests, we affirm their sovereign rights as First Peoples and wish to pay our respects to the Ancestors, Elders and Relatives of the Ramaytush Community. We recognize to respectfully honor Ramaytush peoples we must embrace and collaborate meaningfully to record Indigenous knowledge in how we care for San Francisco and all its people.
