We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territories of the Indigenous peoples of this region, specifically the Salish, Crow, Bannock and Blackfeet Tribes among others, and that we occupy this land. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present and future.
