Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we reside and work on the ancestral and unceded homelands of Indigenous peoples, including the Wiyot, Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, Tolowa Dee-ni’, Bear River, Blue Lake, Trinidad, Big Lagoon, Mattole, Wailaki and others. We have a deep respect for the Tribal communities, who are the original and continuing stewards of the land, waters and natural resources. We call for reciprocal actions and advocacy from any non-Native allies, such as supporting local Indigenous communities and their efforts for sovereignty in our area.
