I acknowledge the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited Arizona for centuries, and that I live and work on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham, Pee Posh, and Yavapai, whose care and keeping of these lands allows me to be here today. I acknowledge the sovereignty of these Nations and endeavor to foster an environment of success and possibility for Indigenous students and stakeholders. I advocate for the ethical incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems, research methodologies, and teaching practices in my scientific field.
