Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

Henry County is located in lands occupied for thousands of years by residents of many nations. Algonquian-speaking nations, such as the Illinois, and Siouan-speaking nations, such as the Iowa or Ioway, are some of the peoples that have lived in southeastern Iowa for millenia. Iowa’s primary agricultural crop (corn), a staple of the United States’ food system, was originally cultivated by Native American nations thousands of years ago, spreading from Mexico up and across the North American continent where it flourished in the Mississippi Valley. Iowa’s corn–derived from Native American civilizations–now feeds millions of people today.
