Land Acknowledgment
California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) resides on the indigenous homeland of the Esselen people (also known as Carmeleno, Monterey Band and Rumsen). It is on the rich homeland of the Esselen, where CSUMB not only thrives as an institution of higher education but also provides an education abundant with service and experience to a diverse community of learners. As our students, staff, faculty, alumni and community members explore the university’s campus, remember to respect the land and take note of the natural beauty. Remember that ancestors rest below pathways and in other less-traveled areas on campus. We Are Here - Let Ka Lai
