The North Orange County Community College District and Fullerton College honor and acknowledge that our campus is located in the unceded ancestral territories shared by the Gabrielino-Kizh Nation and the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians/Acjachemen Nation. We are committed to supporting the ongoing relationships between these tribes, their ancestral territories and the resilience, strength and sovereignty that continues to be demonstrated by California’s first peoples. We affirm our intentions for ongoing relationships with Native American Tribal Nations and communities whose ancestral lands we occupy and students we educate. As such, we have begun to build relationships with the local Native American Tribal Nations.
