On Track Academy student created Acknowledgement :

We acknowledge that we are in the unceded lands of the Spokane Tribe.

The Spokane people shared this place with other tribes through their relations, resources, history, trade and ceremony. We thank the caretakers of this land, who lived, and continue to live here Since Time Immemorial. This land holds the knowledge, culture and spirit of "The People of the Rive". As we take a moment to consider the impacts of historical trauma brought on by genocide, and forced relocation, may we also acknowledge their strength, and resiliency. 

We are grateful to be on the land of the Spokane people and ask for the support of the land as we work together towards our agreed upon goals during this gathering as, one heart, one mind, and one spirit. Please recognize that racism and unjust actions forever changed the life of the Spokane people and their relatives. Now let us agree to work together to stop acts that are continuing the trauma that continues for Native Americans. it is time to recognize and act upon the truths and actions we can take towards restorative justice.
