The Homeschool Village and Charlene, the creator
of this collection, wishes to acknowledge and
honor the Indigenous communities who lived and
took stewardship of the land upon which we live.
The Homeschool Village and Charlene, recognizes
that the program of The Homeschool Village was
built on the Indigenous homelands and resources
of the Seminole, Miccosukee, and Tocobaga
people as well as their ancestors going back over
10,000 years.
We acknowledge the painful history of genocide
and forced removal from their territory, and we
honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous
people still connected to this land on which we
gather. This is a call for all of us to commit to
continuing to learn how to be better stewards of
the land we inhabit.
This land acknowledgement was created with
input from the Seminole tribe of Florida.
