Honoring Native Lands & Indigenous Peoples

The Keck School of Medicine of USC acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the Tongva People. For thousands of years, the Tongva people lived on this land we occupy today, and were considered the most powerful indigenous peoples to inhabit the Los Angeles basin. Along with the Tongva, we also recognize the Chumash, Tataviam, Serrano, Cahuilla, Juaneno, and Luiseno People, for the land that USC also occupies around Southern California. We pay respects to their elders past and present. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us here today. And please join us in uncovering such truths at any and all events.

Call to Action

Join us in our commitment to developing authentic relationships with our Indigenous colleagues and community members, challenging and rejecting stereotypes about Indigenous people, and learning more about the needs and wishes of our local Indigenous communities.
