Honoring the Land We recognize the traditional keepers and carers of this land, Nez Perce, Chinook, Klamath, Paiute, Molalla, and Cayuse peoples who keep those lands upon where we meet, and thank them for allowing us to use those lands. May we hold witness to the treatment of indigenous peoples and their sovereignty by the government. 2
