Kumeyaay Land Acknowledgement

Dor Hadash gratefully acknowledges that we daven (pray) on Kumeyaay land.
Currently, we congregate just south of a large village and shellfish processing area the Kumeyaay called “Ystagua-’Iilh Taawaa.” People of the Kumeyaay nations have been caretaking this land for millennia in spite of 300+ years of physical and cultural violence that tried to unjustly separate them from this land. Acknowledging this history of settler colonialism also means vowing to improve the spiritual, social, and political ways in which we live our life today. Through this acknowledgment, we hope to bring more healing to this land and engage in Tikkun Olam with the Kumeyaay people.
