For almost 20 years, Professor Jeffrey Shepherd has been teaching history at the University of Texas at El Paso. As the chairman of the department and a professor with a keen knowledge of Native American studies, he noticed that the school wasn’t recognizing an important part of its identity.
The university resides on Indigenous lands.
Across the nation, universities have publicly recognized their ties to Native American lands and history. One of those ways of recognition is through a land acknowledgement.
“Land acknowledgments are public statements sometimes written and posted on public sites that acknowledge an awareness of and knowledge of Indigenous histories and Indigenous ties and claims to a particular place,” Shepherd said.

Longtime sports patron MILO has partnered with the Philippine Jump Rope Association (PJRA) and the Department of Education in promoting the sport of jump rope to the grassroots level through the “10 million skips challenge.”
The tripartite program will have 180,000 jump ropes to be distributed to 3,600 schools across the country for Grade 4 students and MAPEH teachers to assist in the challenge.
The idea is to encourage participants to skip rope and those on social media for the whole month of June using the hashtags #MILO10Mskips and #WorldMilkDay.
“Health and wellness has always been our priority so we are really committed to enrich the lives of Filipinos, especially the kids,”said Veronica Cruz, Senior Vice President of Nestle Philippines, during the Philippine Sportswriters Association Online Forum Tuesday, June 1.
