Land Acknowledgment 

I, Ángela Godoy-Fernández, acknowledge the Ohlone, Rumsen, Popeloutchom, Tecuexe, and Gabrielino/Tongva, peoples as the traditional land caretakers of the Salinas, Watsonville, La Esperanza, Ameca, Jalisco, and Los Angeles lands. As a researcher, educator, and a first generation graduate student with privileged access to these geographies and their knowledges, I will always pay my respects to my ancestors, elders, and relatives  and relations past, present, and emerging.
