The land I record my video on is the traditional territory of the Kizh/Gabrieleño (pronounced Keech) Nation and the Gabrielino/Tongva Nation according to Native Land (https://native-land.ca/). I recognize that this land was stolen from these peoples, and that they had to endure suffering, forced labor, displacement, and a stripping of much of their language, traditions, and history as a result of colonialism and oppression. Despite this, Indigenous people are still here. This is still Indigenous land.

If you like to support these Nations, I’ve pasted some places to start:

KIZH Nation
https://gabrielenoindians.org/
“The Kizh Kitc Gabrieleños are the indigenous people of the Los Angeles basin that were enslaved to build the San Gabriel mission as well as the Los Angeles Plaza Church and who’s history has attempted to be erased by politics on both local and federal levels. We are talking about a conspiracy through the 20th century to avoid the question of repatriation.”

Gabrielino/Tongva Nation
http://gabrielino-tongva.com/
“We are the Tongva people. We have inhabited, since time immemorial, the region we call Tovangar, known today as the Los Angeles Basin. Our natural, ancestral boundaries are from the Santa Susanna Mountains to the North, Aliso Creek to the South, the San Bernardino Mountains to the East, and the Pacific Ocean to the West, including the four channel islands of Santa Catalina, San Clemente, Santa Barbara, and San Nicolas.” (http://gabrielino-tongva.com/document... Constitution Amended February 22, 2020.pdf)

If there is anything that I can add to this list or correct in my acknowledgement above, please let me know.

I came up with the name of this channel from my first and middle name: Eryn Dane’ (pronounced as duh-nay). On this channel, I plan to post video essays on topics in healthcare that I feel needs a little more nuance, awareness, and analysis. If there’s anything that you’d like for me to discuss, let me know in the comments below. My focus will typically be health disparities, maternal and child health, healthcare marketing, and health literacy.
