We acknowledge that Chadron State College is situated on the land of multiple Native nations, past and present. These original homelands are the territory of Indigenous peoples who were largely dispossessed and removed. We specifically acknowledge these are the traditional homelands of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people.

Chadron State College pledges to support and advocate for the histories, cultures, languages, and territorial rights of historic and contemporary Indigenous peoples of this region. This statement affirms continuous Indigenous presence and rights, acknowledges the ongoing effects of settler colonization, and supports Indigenous struggles for political, legal, and cultural sovereignty.
