Southeastern Museums Conference Land Acknowledgement : SEMC acknowledges that our offices in Atlanta, Georgia are headquartered on the traditional lands of the Muscogee (Creek) and Cherokee Peoples past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it through the generations. As an organization, we commit to being better caretakers of the lands we inhabit and learning more about the native peoples that traditionally occupied these lands.
