Platform & Rules
The State of Michigan occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabek – Three Fires Confederacy; the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Bode’wadmi. The Kalamazoo County Democratic Party recognizes historic indigenous communities in Michigan and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. We further recognize the ongoing relationship of, dependence upon, and respect for all living beings of earth, sky, and water.
