Lumen High School situated on the ancestral land of the Plateau Peoples who inhabited the highlands between the Rocky Mountains and Pacific coast, a vast area including portions of Eastern Washington. Some of the region's tribes include the Spokane, Coeur d'Alene and Kalispel bands, along with those making up the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, who have occupied these lands since time immemorial. 

Lumen acknowledges the resiliency of these Indigenous peoples who have suffered trauma brought on by centuries of colonialism and racism. We extend our deepest respect and gratitude to Native peoples as original stewards of this land. 

At Lumen all staff, student and board members are committed to restorative justice through inclusion and anti-racist actions and to taking actions both individually and collectively to make reparations to the BIPOC community.
