Land acknowledgment
We are on the traditional territory of the Northern Paiute, the Wasco, and the Warm Springs tribes, which now comprise The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Acknowledging territory shows respect for Indigenous Peoples who called the land home before the arrival of settlers, and in many cases, still call it home. It’s important to recognize that we are simply guests on this land. As educators, students, and parents interested in growth, we pledge to continue learning about the first people who lived on these territories and to build relationships with tribal communities, and to include and uplift Indigenous voices as we advocate for a sustainable future.
