Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that we are on the Indigenous Land of Coast Salish peoples who have reserved sovereign and inherent rights to this land, specifically the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (sdukʷalbixʷ). We thank these caretakers of this land who have lived and continue to live here since time immemorial.
