Loyola Counseling Center Land Acknowledgement

Loyola University Maryland’s campuses are located on ancestral grounds originally cared for and inhabited by Indigenous communities for thousands of years. The racist violence of settler colonialism past and present led to the traumatization and destruction of millions of Indigenous bodies, communities, cultures, and resources. We must acknowledge that we live on and benefit from this land that was taken by force. As a Jesuit, Catholic institution, we are called by our values to engage in active discernment about the role that our institution and the Catholic Church have played in the oppression, exclusion, and erasure of Indigenous nations. Loyola University Maryland commits to calling out continued systemic injustice, repairing institutional harms, and renewing our commitment to working in solidarity to heal this land.
