We honor and respect the lands on which our organization operates locally and globally. We deeply honor and respect indigenous peoples and their critical connections to native lands, fauna, and flora.
“…we are all guests on this land—nobody owns her. But it’s the First Peoples who are her stewards and direct descendants, who hold the ancestral and genetic blood memory, knowledge of enriching philosophies, land-based skills and intrinsic belief systems that future generations will depend upon, regardless of cultural lineage.”
–Selena Mills, What are land acknowledgements and why do they matter?, Local Love Canada.
