We acknowledge that we are meeting on land called, by many indigenous peoples, Turtle Island, on the unceded and traditional territories of the Tseshaht & Hupacasath First Nations. Meaning a treaty has never been signed. We thank all the generations of Indigenous people who have taken care of this land and been its stewards for thousands of years. We would also like to recognize the China Creek & Bainbridge Lake watersheds, knowing the waters in these regions support all of life, human and non-human in the area. We are grateful for this gift.
