LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge the land and the people who have called this place home for thousands of years. The Otoe-Missouria, Omaha, Ponca, Kansa, and Pawnee have lived here at one time. Many others have visited to collect salt at the local salt basin. “Niskithe,” by which this area continues to be known, is the Omaha word for salt water. We thank them all for their good care of this sacred ground.

While we cannot change the past, we are committed to right relationship with our Native neighbors. We value their contribution to our community’s vitality and diversity. These are not idle words; our commitment is to action. We pledge to show up in support of local and national policies, programs, and measures that demand redress for lands taken, that offer justice for harm committed, and that seek to promote self-determination and equity for all peoples.
July 2026 Gallery Exhibit

The July Unitarian Church of Lincoln (UCL) Gallery exhibit features the work of Oglala Lakota master ledger artist Donald Montileaux and Canadian First Nations artist Ioyan Mani (Maxine Noel).

Additionally, the Indigenous Allies Committee presents an historical review of the Unitarian Church of Lincoln’s (UCL) Indigenous programming from 2022 to the present.

This display chronicles our progress since the formation of the Task Force on White Supremacy, which followed the 2020 White Supremacy Awareness survey.

Featured content:
  • Our formal land acknowledgement,
  • An overview of our programming through 2026, and
  • Highlights from our participation in Otoe-Missouria Days and the Walking in the Footsteps of our Ancestors projects.
