Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that any conversation about the evolution and history of an organization requires the sincere acknowledgement of the land and its peoples. The Stanford Women's Community Center is located in the Fire Truck House and at Stanford University which sits on the unceded and ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. This land was and continues to be of great meaning and importance to the Ohlone peoples. We recognize this with humility and a commitment to education, awareness, justice, and honoring their sacred land.

This land, called Popeloutchom by Ohlone peoples, continues to be of great meaning and importance to its original stewards. We recognize this with humility and commit to grounding the work we do at the WCC in education, awareness, justice, and honoring the sacred land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. We encourage you to engage with educational resources available the official website of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, and to visit the website of the Amah Mutsun Land Trust, where you can begin reading about some of the current work tribal members are doing to restore Indigenous knowledge and practices to the land, and learn how to donate your time or money.
We also encourage you to learn about and donate to the Sogorea Te' Land Trust, working to rematriate traditional Lisjan Ohlone land.
