Our Purpose
Mariposa Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to collective liberation through connection, stewardship, and education.
A Prayer for Land and Peoples
A Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge the land that Mariposa
is situated on
is not ours.
Whose ancestral lands it is exactly
we do not know at this time
because “Northern Pomo” does not tell
who was created here, gathered here, lived here since the beginning of time.
We acknowledge this land was stolen
through lies, heinous violence, and genocide,
whose effects still ripple today.
We aim to do right by the original peoples of this place;
If you trace your origins here, we invite you to return.
We would love to share with you what this place has to offer.
We attempt to steward the lands in our care
in the best ways we know how
And offer our spaces for healing and connection with the land.
We offer them at no or low cost
To tribes and Native-led groups and organizations of our area.
We pray to learn the true names of this place,
tell the truth about the history of Native peoples,
And cocreate a future here together.
