We are honored to live and work on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Nations whose current lands we call Washington, including the Chehalis, Chinook, Colville, Cowlitz, Duwamish, Hoh, Jamestown, Kalispel, Kikiallus, Lower Elwha, Lummi, Makah, Marietta Band, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Nooksack, Palouse, Port Gamble, Puyallup, Quileute, Quinault, Samish, Sauk-Suiattle, Shoalwater, Skokomish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Snoqualmoo, Spokane, Squaxin Island, Steilacoom, Stillaguamish, Suquamish, Swinomish, Tulalip, Upper Skagit, Wanapum, And Yakama Nations. We recognize that borders are artificial—many tribal nations from the North, the South, and the East of present-day Washington also have historical and current ties to these lands.

We express our gratitude as guests and thank the original and current stewards of this land. What we experience today is a product of these nations’ ancestors’ ability to be in relationship with the natural world. We would not be here without their guardianship and connection to the earth.

We also acknowledge Black and African labor on which this country built its prosperity—we honor you.
