As we observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day, here’s a reminder about Native Land, a cool mapping tool you may have heard about that allows you to see the indigenous territories and languages in your region.

Launched in 2015 and frequently used in schools, the interactive website aids in helping people around the world learn about their local history. What indigenous territories might have existed—and still exist—where you live? Share the digital map with your staff as part of a DEI toolkit, inviting them to identify and acknowledge the native land your agency is on.
