Adapted from Greater Spokane Incorporated:

 

ʔa st̓úlixʷ (ah stoo-lee–wh / greeting the land / Salish),
We are honored to acknowledge that Lumen High School and the various locations of student learning are located on traditional and sacred homelands of the Spokane Tribe. We also acknowledge that the Spokane region we serve spreads across the traditional and sacred homelands of the Confederated Tribes of Colville, Kalispel Tribe, and Nez Perce Tribe. These lands hold indigenous cultural DNA and we are honored and grateful to be here on traditional lands. We give thanks and respect to the legacy of the original peoples, tribal leaders and elders, and their descendants. We pledge to honor their stewardship and values, lem lmtš (lehm lumt-sh / abundance of gratitude / Salish).
