Dear Council Members of Los Gatos, I am writing to you today to strongly urge you to vote in favor of the land acknowledgement for the Tamien Nation. With recent DEI efforts by the Town Council and its current Listen, Learn, Change, Grow campaign,
this land acknowledgment will provide a lot of educational value for our community. Most people aren't aware of the existence of the Ohlone people, even fewer are aware of the Tamien Nation. A land acknowledgement is a critical first step in establishing potential future correspondence and collaboration with the indigenous people of this land.
Therefore, I am in full support of passing this land acknowledgement. Thank you for your consideration,
Pam Bond

Dear Council Members of Los Gatos, My name is Erica Weinstein. I am writing to you today to strongly urge you to vote in favor of the land acknowledgement in Los Gatos. The fact is that this land is unceded territory, forcibly taken by
colonists. There is no greater injustice than our willingness to forget our past. There is no greater injustice than neglect. This is our history and we have a responsibility to teach it. With recent DEI efforts by the Town Council and its current Listen, Learn, Change, Grow campaign, this land acknowledgment will provide a lot of educational value for our community. A land acknowledgement is a critical first step in establishing potential future correspondence and
collaboration with the indigenous people of this land. Therefore, I am in full support of passing a land acknowledgement. Thank you for your consideration, Erica Weinstein
