Land Acknowledgment
Hyde Park Neighborhood Club is committed to justice, equity, and inclusion. We therefore recognize the Native American presence on the land where our building is located. HPNC acknowledges it was built on the traditional homelands of the Illinois and Miami Nations and the Council of the Three Fires: The Potawatomi, Odawa, and Ojibwe Nations. We recognize that the region we now call Chicago was the traditional homeland of many Indigenous nations, and a crossroads and meeting place of many others. This land remains home to diverse Native people today. It was and remains Native land.
