LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The land that Eureka rests on is known in the Wiyot language as Jaroujiji. Past actions by
local, State and Federal governments removed the Wiyot and other indigenous peoples from
the land and threatened to destroy their cultural practices. The City of Eureka acknowledge the
Wiyot community, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. This
acknowledgement demonstrates the City’s commitment to dismantle the ongoing legacies of
settler colonialism.
