Quick Facts
Indigenous land acknowledgement
Arizona State University acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. ASU's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. ASU welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to ASU.
