ACP LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: This GPA project is for ATLANTA: City of Peace which represents a beautifully diverse metro area population that will soon have 8 million citizens. We are located on the once cherished ancestral lands of the Muscogee (Creek) Tribal Nation. These lands were known by them and other tribes as 'The Heart of the Turtle' because of its abundance of wildlife, healing spring waters, natural herbs, fruits, vegetables, and minerals. It was ceded as part of the coerced US government agreement from the First Treaty of Indian Springs-- January 8, 1821. FYI: Georgia officials wanted land to expand their plantation economy, separate the Creeks from the Cherokee to prevent alliances, and satisfy white settlers' land hunger. This land, which still includes a sacred ceremonial site now called Stone Mountain that was used for 8000+ years, was home to these peaceful indigenous peoples, and also to generations of enslaved people who were brought here forcibly. Healing Happens. Healing Matters.
