Land Acknowledgement

We live and work on land stolen from the First Nations Coastal Salish people who have lived here for over 10,000 years before white colonizers arrived 250 years ago with violence towards the Salish people and the land. Nature remembers this violence, too.

In my work to help people connect with nature, I strive to celebrate indigenous people and wisdom and their sacred spiritual connection to this land by highlighting their knowledge about native plants and trees. I teach practical ways to decolonize self and land to heal self and land and how to not appropriate when working with plants.
