Indigenous Peoples Acknowledgement, Des Moines, IA
As we experience the National Speech & Debate Tournament from Greater Des Moines, Iowa, it is important to acknowledge the displaced Indigenous People who are this land’s original stewards.
We acknowledge that the place we now call Iowa is the ancestral home of the Ioway, for which Iowa is named. Des Moines is also the ancestral home of the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Meskwaki, Sauk, and other Indigenous peoples that have passed through at various times.
Today, we thank the Indigenous People who are making essential contributions to Iowa and to speech and debate communities. Specifically, we want to recognize and thank Indigenous People, such as the Indigenous Coaches’ Caucus, for their guidance and leadership.
The NSDA commits to continuing to learn; we will intentionally work to meet the unique needs of all Indigenous People in this activity.
