With reverence, I recognize and honor that I reside as a guest on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Nations. I extend my deepest gratitude to the original stewards; those who have cared for the land and sea, acknowledged the cosmos + listened to the plant and animal life since time immemorial. May the original ways be heard, heart-learned, and restored to all humanity for the betterment of the world we tend.

In peace.
