We acknowledge that our institution, Central Arizona College, occupies ancestral lands of the Huhugam, who lived and farmed along the Gila River Basin centuries ago. We thank the Native communities and descendants of these Indigenous people whose stewardship of the land and waterways allows us to be here now: the San Carlos Apache Tribe, Tohono O’odham Nation, Ak-Chin Indian Community, and the Gila River Indian Community, which is comprised of the Akimel O’otham (Pima) and the Pee-Posh (Maricopa) tribes. Indigenous people from other Native nations also reside in Pinal County. Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized Tribes. All have made innumerable contributions to our region.
