I would like to acknowledge the unceded territory of the K’omoks Nation.  I am grateful for the Traditional Ecological Knowledge and oral histories of the First Peoples that have been shared with me, which continue to deepen my connection to the land, and the places I feel at home. I look forward to building a connection to my new home and give thanks to the stories, songs, art, and knowledge of the K’omoks people and their Sathloot and Pentlatch ancestors.
