I acknowledge that I live, work and play on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial.

This acknowledgment does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land I occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present, and future. One way you can make your solidarity actionable is by joining me in paying monthly reparations to the Duwamish via Real Rent Duwamish or supporting the Native communities where you live (https://native-land.ca/).
