Native American land Acknowledgement
Prepared for the City of Iowa City's Ad Hoc Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Human
Rights Commission
PURPOSE
Iowa City owes its existence to the many Indigenous Peoples who were the original stewards of this land
and who were subjected to manipulation and violence by non-native settlers, invaders, and governments
in order to make this moment possible. Acknowledgement of this truth is central to our work toward
reconciliation across all barriers of difference and injustice. Starting with a Native American Land
Acknowledgement, this Commission will bear witness to the legacies of violent displacement, migration,
and settlement that have marginalized those who were the first inhabitants of this land. We must also
address the mistreatment and exclusion that Native Americans continue to face today. The Ad Hoc Truth
and Reconciliation Commission and the Human Rights Commission encourage the community and City of
Iowa City to join us in these efforts through the use of a Native American Land Acknowledgement.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
To be read at all public meetings and events:
"We meet today in the community of Iowa City, which now occupies the homelands of
Native American Nations to whom we owe our commitment and dedication. The area of
Iowa City was within the homelands of the Iowa, Meskwaki, and Sauk, and because
history is complex and time goes far back beyond memory, we also acknowledge the
ancient connections of many other Indigenous Peoples here. The history of broken
treaties and forced removal that dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their homelands
was and is an act of colonization and genocide that we can not erase. We implore the
Iowa City community to commit to understanding and addressing these injustices as we
work toward equity, restoration, and reparations."

Agenda Item #8 Report from IC Compassion
Dec 2022 thru March 2023 SJRE: First Report for Racial Equity & Social Justice Grant
ICCompassion's progress .
We are more than grateful for all you support and for the impact of racial equity and social justice grant
money. We have used this money for the first year of our vision. Our vision was to create a training cafe
within our facility at IC Compassion. We are now licensed and have been operating since May 5th, 2022.
The cafe, the Jabez Cafe, provides a place for young adults with disabilities and mental illnesses to work
and gain the skills they need for future job opportunities. We have had a total of 7 young adults and
continue to have them and more that want to come and participate and get training . All participants
have been from immigrant families. They have been learning food service skills such as cooking, money
handling, cleaning, and serving others. Parents of the young adults and training in the cafe. Four parents
have been consistently involved in the daily management of the cafe. We are also impacting the
community with connections with these young adults and learning about disabilities and their barriers.
Since July, the number of meals being served has increased from 10 meals a week to an average of 20
meals a week we give food away for people that cannot pay. Being committed to serving on a donation
basis, a side benefit has been providing meals for those who could not afford it. Jabez Cafe serves
approx. 40 free meals each month. Other statistics since being supported by this grant: • volunteer
hours a week are 25 to 30 hours • training time each week is approx. 12 hrs. • Added donation methods
including Venmo • Average donations increased to an average of $300 per week • Increased number of
clients and a few regulars we have a people that continue to come every week and have others said they
like the place because they find friend we are family environment .
Specific response to our goals: -
Trainees will demonstrate increased comfort and confidence with training at Jabez Cafe • Responses
from our trainees (young adults) • Jordan, one of our first trainee, was really worried in the beginning
and now he loves to come to work and participates in everyday that we serve in the community. • JB is
nonverbal, but he has his routine of getting the trash bag, the old bread and putting them in the trash
container. He has learned that after he is finished, he sits at a table and waits for his cupcake treat. He
welcomes that with a big smile he will graduate on May and he don't have another place to go only the
Jabez Cafe. And now we have Kareli. She is down syndrome the school call us because she don't have
any other opportunity for her she start coming here and make such improve in her independence and
happiness to be here with us.
• Trainees will demonstrate increased job skills in the food service area
1 • All trainees are doing their jobs skills with minimal prompts
• All trainees are still in the program. Two asked for increased time.
• Parents will indicate increased satisfaction with knowledge of resources in the community.
Partnership with LEND and • Partnership with Goodwill and Successful Living • Trainees from City High
School, West High School, and the University • Parents and trainees will indicate increased satisfaction
with their lives as they find dignity and purpose in Jabez Cafe and hope for the future. • New friendships
have developed. Clients now call our trainees by name and have conversations with them. The funding
has supported our part-time coordinator, which has been critical to our current success. We have a
program called ON TRACK from UCCED that bring training to learn how to take charge of your health
every other week to the participants and the clients from Successful living coming and get the training,
We have the nurses of college come and do their training to our Jabez cafe and teach to how do better
choices of nutrition the clients and participants enjoy having the support for them and learn how to
make good choices.

"You might not be able to change the world, but you can change your world.°
YOUTH VOLUNTEER ACADEMY - LEARNING
Our inaugural Youth Volunteer Academy has been a success. 15 students signed up
and there have been an average of 10 students present at the 12 meetings so far. This
has been a wonderful group of students. They have been willing to share personal
experiences and participate in discussions about the sometimes -difficult topics included
in our academy. They have welcomed a number of different facilitators, and seem to
have learned a lot. The students have averaged 15 hours of attended programming. 9
of the students have been present for 18 or 20 hours. Our goal was 30 hours, so we will
fall short of that goal, but overall we have been happy with participation and
enthusiasm. Most of our students participate in sports, robotics, theater, or other
extra cu rricu la rs, or have jobs that sometimes competed with our Saturday, 1 Dam-12pm
slot.
The facilitators have also been stellar. They have come prepared and have provided
interesting, relevant, and thought -provoking information.
We made slight adjustments to the schedule because of facilitator availability:

VOLUNTEERING
We have found, in this pilot program, that it has been hard to fit in volunteering with
Houses into Homes into the two-hour window we have. Many of the presentations and
discussions have lasted longer than an hour, and have not left time for volunteer activity.
Some days, students have helped gather items like dishes, pots and pans, bed and
bath linens, and toys for oertain households. Recently, they helped load our truck with
items for an upcoming delivery. We will reexamine the structure of the program with our
advisory committee this summer.
SURVEY
We are measuring our goals through an online survey, which was developed by Dr.
Walid Afifi, University of California -Santa Barbara. The survey was given at the start of
the program, and will be given again at the penultimate meeting. Results of the
pre-program survey were not shared with Houses into Homes, so that they did not
influence the information we shared with students cr facilitators. Dr. Afifi did share the
answers to the following questions:
Houses into Homes is a 50fc3 nonprofit organization. Your contrabution is tax-deductible to the extent
allowed by the law. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your donation. EIN #82-4622847
• What are you hoping to learn? — Students said they wanted to learn more about
social justice (systems in the US, poverty, injustice) and how to help their
community.
■ If , I will consider this program a success. Students said they would
consider this program a success if they learn something and can help people.
■ What made you decide to sign up for this program? , Students signed up
because they wanted to help and learn.
We will administer the survey again next week and will be able to report those results
this summer,
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
We plan to reconvene our advisory committee this summer to review what worked and
what didn't work, as well as any adjustments we can make for next year.
EXPENSES
Expenses, totalling $4,453.23, thus far have been for:
■ Advisory committee members and meeting facilitators
■ T-shirts, bags, and other supplies
• Snacks and meals (most has been donated)
• Project coordinator
