Scion Staffing recognizes that our office, located in the Minneapolis area resides on the traditional village sites of the Dakota (Sioux), Ojibwa (Anishinabe or Chippewa), Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ottawa, Winnebago, Sauk, Wyandot, and Ponca, as well as many other tribes who have made their homes in the area now known as Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Indigenous people of these tribes have tended the land, created tribal communities, and called this area their home for thousands of years.

As a company that thrives on, and is committed to a foundation of diversity, equity, and inclusion, it is imperative that we recognize our city of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area is home to a community of diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future—and are thankful for their presence to make our city in Minnesota a beautifully vibrant place.
