Peaches Land Acknowledgment

We recognize that the land of California is territory and ancestral land of California Indians,

and that our settler-colonial communities have benefitted

and continue to benefit from the use and occupation of this land.

We recognize the original and current caretakers of Pachappa, Riverside,

are the Cahuilla, Serrano, Luiseño, Tongva and Chemehuevi peoples,

and we honor the Joyas, Two-Spirit people who have made history as the first of our community

to walk in beauty.

We acknowledge,

make visible and continue to improve our relationship to California Indians,

and seek to be accountable to the needs and sovereignty

of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.


Peaches Labor Acknowledgment

We recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country,

state, and House Ballroom Culture are built.

This country was built on the theft and labor of enslaved African peoples,

and we recognize the continued contributions of their survivors.

We also acknowledge immigrant and indigenous labor,

including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who

contributed to the building of the country, and continue to serve within our labor force,

and who are a part of our Ballscene today!

Our country is defined, supported, and built upon by oppressed communities and peoples.

Through acknowledging these labor inequities we begin resistance to oppressive systems through

our collection actions.
