Center for Multicultural Affairs Land Acknowledgement The Center for Multicultural Affairs acknowledges that the land our center and the greater university occupies are the ancestral lands of the Shakori, Eno and Tuscarora people.

We recognize those peoples for whom these were ancestral lands as well as the many Indigenous people who live and work in the region today.
