We acknowledge that the land on which we live, work, and gather is the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Indigenous peoples.

 

We honor and respect the enduring relationship that Indigenous peoples have with this land, which has existed for thousands of years. We recognize the history of displacement and the ongoing impact of colonialism, and we commit to supporting the continued strength and resilience of Indigenous communities.

​​

We encourage all to learn more about the Indigenous peoples of this region and to consider the importance of protecting their rights, culture, and land.
