*** We are delivering 2023 Walk gear right to your door but the deadline to receive a shirt by walk day has passed. Any participant raised $100 after September 7th will still receive their walk day t-shirt. However, those individual shirts will be mailed to your address post-walk event starting in late November. You have until December 31 to earn your Walk shirt and all incentive prized. ***

The land on which the Alzheimer’s Association Chicago Walk to End Alzheimer's will take place on includes the traditional homelands of the Ho-Chunk, Otoe, Missouria, Iowas, Menominee, Meskwaki, Sauk, Miami, Wea, Piankashaw, Kickapoo, and Illini Confederacy Nations as well as the Concil of the Three Fires: Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Odawa Nations. By acknowledging the land, we recognize that it holds significance for its original stewards: the Native Nations and peoples of the region. We acknowledge the ground on which our Walk to End Alzheimer's will take place on so that all who work and partner with us know that we recognize our responsibilities to the peoples of that land and that we strive to address that history so that it guides our work in the present and the future. 

The Alzheimer's Association recognizes the importance of remembering which is why we remember and honor the original stewards of the lands we Walk to End Alzheimer's on. If you believe a Nation is missing from this list, please contact Amelia Garza, Diversity and Inclusion Manager, at amgarza@alz.org.
