You know it, I know it, but we will acknowledge it anyway because it is the literal LEAST we can do.

We acknowledge conducting business on the traditional lands of the Chinookan and Cowlitz peoples. These indigenous communities have stewarded this land, its rivers, forests, and resources for thousands of years.

We recognize the deep connection and profound relationship that the Chinookan and Cowlitz peoples have with this land, which continues to be significant to their cultures, spirituality, and way of life. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and express our gratitude for their ongoing presence and contributions to this region.

As we engage in business activities, we commit to honoring the Indigenous peoples' inherent rights, knowledge, and the ongoing struggle for self-determination. We strive to create an inclusive and respectful environment that recognizes the importance of indigenous perspectives and actively works toward equity, justice, and healing.

We also acknowledge the diverse and vibrant Indigenous communities who reside in this area and the enduring impact of colonization, forced removal, and ongoing injustices that they face. We commit ourselves to learning from and supporting these communities and advocating for their rights.

May this acknowledgment serve as a reminder of our collective responsibility to recognize, respect, and honor the Indigenous peoples who have been the original stewards of this land since time immemorial. We remain committed to fostering meaningful relationships and working towards reconciliation and a more just future.
