Our Land Acknowledgement

Out Youth’s offices reside on the traditional territory and homelands of the Comanche, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa, Jumanos, and Coahuiltecan people, past and present, and we honor with gratitude the land itself, Yanawana, and the people removed from it. We commit ourselves to advocating for the rights of the land and the people on these lands.
