Adopted from PJALS Spokane:

We want to begin by respectfully acknowledging that our school and other gathering places are on unceded Indigenous land. When we gather in person, virtually, or wherever we are, we are all on Indigenous land. At our school building, near the shores of the Spokane River, we are on the occupied traditional lands of the Spokane People and other Interior Salish peoples, who have stewarded this beautiful land and precious river since time immemorial.  We offer our respect to elders both past and present. Upon whose land are you reading this?

We know it is insufficient to simply acknowledge the land we occupy.

We commit to centering the voices, leadership, and solutions of Indigenous people in our communities and around the world. We stand in solidarity with Indigenous people who are leading the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity across the globe. We encourage you to give financial support to indigenous-led organizations here in the land of the Interior Salish peoples, to buy native and to integrate the essential voices of Indigenous people in our lives all year long. Our words are only as meaningful as our actions.
