We acknowledge that our school resides on the homeland of the Coast Salish people, in particular, the Stillaguamish and Tulalip tribes. We recognize that these are sovereign nations with descendants who live on this land and elsewhere in the Puget Sound region. This land acknowledgment is a first step in recognizing that the land we occupy has a history that predates colonization. As a school, we are committed to listening to indigenous people to better understand how we can amplify their voices and their needs.
