Land Acknowledgement

I respectfully acknowledge I am on the traditional and ancestral land of the Séliš (Salish) and QÌispé (upper Kalispel or Pend d’Oreille) People, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. This area was also frequented by other tribes including the Ksanka (Kootenai), Niitsitapi (Blackfeet), Newe (Shoshone), Apsáalooke (Crow), and  Ka’I gwu (Kiowa).

I acknowledge the descendants of the original stewards, witness their history, stories and amplify their voices. I respect this land and its generational caretakers.

Thank you.
