CSUSM Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the
Luiseño/Payómkawichum people. Today, the meeting place of CSUSM and its surrounding
areas is still home to the six Luiseño/Payómkawichum federally recognized bands of
the La Jolla, Pala, Pauma, Pechanga, Rincon, Soboba and one non-federally recognized,
the San Luis Rey band. It is also important to acknowledge that this land remains
the shared space among the Kuupangaxwichem/Cupeño and Kumeyaay and Ipai peoples.

Partnerships
CSUSM collaborates with internal and external tribal communities to achieve mutual goals.
Tribal Engagement Initiative History
In 2007, CSUSM and the Santa Ysabel Indian tribe partnered together to increase the number of young American Indians attending college.
The program has been making an impact on the region for over ten years.
Native Advisory Council
The President’s Native Advisory Council is comprised of representatives from most neighboring tribes and tribal education leaders.
This first-in-the-CSU advisory council advises the CSUSM President on University relations with the regional Native American communities and articulates the educational needs of local tribal nations to the University.
