As Pacific Islanders, Respect is one of the most important cultural values that helps bind and influence us as people, families, and communities. Respect is the foundation stone of our culture that helps us reflect the way we view the world. It is also embedded in us to help strengthen the minds and bodies of Queers and Trans-Pacific Islanders through community engagement and cultural stewardship.
UTOPIA Las Vegas wishes to acknowledge and honor the Indigenous people of this land, the Tudinu or Desert People of Southern Paiutes. We believe that it is important to recognize and appreciate the opportunity to live, work, learn and be in community of the Southern Paiute land.
