Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we are on the stolen Coast Salish land, specifically the ancestral land of the Duwamish, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Muckleshoot People. Without these tribes past and present, we would not have access to this gathering and to this dialogue. We want to thank the original caretakers of this land who are still here.

Did you know we have 29 Tribes in Washington State? Learn more.
