Museum Association |
The Museum Association of Arizona recognizes that the landscape is sacred and reflects the cultural values central to the Indigenous nations whose current and ancestral lands lie within the state of Arizona.
We acknowledge the relationship and impact these nations have with the land, and its continued use as an important part of cultural traditions.
We honor the past, present, and future generations who have lived here for millennia and will forever call this place home.
This acknowledgement underscores our commitment to work in partnership with the ancestral communities to foster understanding, appreciation, and respect for this heritage, which is integral to our mission to build a vital museum community.
