20th Anniversary Native American Heritage Month (NAHM)
Every November, the Intertribal Resource Center leads a campus committee in recognizing the achievements and contributions of Native American people and tribes. The committee is comprised of students, faculty, and staff, all committed to honoring our local tribal communities.

Land Acknowledgement
Mat-koo-la-hoo-ee (La Jolla, California) is home to the Kumeyaay people and carries the Indigenous wisdom that reflects their ancestors and descendants. This knowledge of the land, communally held amongst the Kumeyaay, established a relationship of stewardship and care that fostered a balance for the land, the water, and its diverse ecosystem. Today, as members of the UC San Diego community, we walk on this land alongside the Kumeyaay people and acknowledge their wisdom and practices of stewardship as an act of reverence to this land and our shared communities. -Intertribal Resource Center
