We acknowledge that we live and work on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish people, including the Lhaq’temish (Lummi Nation) and Noxws’a?aq (Nooksack Indian Tribe). Since European settlement in the late 1700s, significant natural and cultural resources have been lost. Inspired by the stewardship and restoration work of these sovereign nations, we encourage our community to learn about Indigenous land stewardship, which has connected them to this land for millennia. As a student-led organization, we strive to support the continuity of indigenous culture through our efforts in ecological restoration.
