The Orange County Chapter of AOSA is based on the campus of Concordia University, Irvine, which is built on the unceded ancestral lands of the Acjachemen and Tongva peoples. We respectfully honor and recognize the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Acjachemen and Tongva peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. We honor the long history of Indigenous cultures that have persisted for thousands of years, and recognize the indigenous ways of knowing that have been carried into the present as well. We are grateful to come together and learn in these homelands.
