LAND & LABOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Cummer Museum resides within the ancestral and unceded homelands of the Timucua, indigenous peoples who inhabited the present-day geographies of southeast Georgia into north and central Florida. It is believed that the last Timucua left the area with the Spanish when Florida ceded to England, with the last known Timucua, Juan Alonso Cabale, dying in Cuba in 1767. When visiting the Cummer Museum’s Gardens, we invite you to join us in acknowledging the significance of place, legacies of dispossession, and offering respect and care for the land and its resources.
