Adopted from the Seattle Colleges:

We pause to acknowledge that the original occupants and stewards of the land where we now gather—lands that are the traditional home of the Coast Salish people past, present, and future – that includes but is not limited to: Confederated Tribes of the Collville Reservation, Spokane, Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Ktunaxa and Schitsu’umsh (Coeur d' Alene) . We honor their connection to the region, pay respect to Elders past and present, and stand in solidarity through their struggles with continued systemic oppression. We commit to care for the land and water, and center equity at the core of our (un)learning. 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and educational institutions are built on. We acknowledge that our institution at times has relied on hourly, student, contingent, and unpaid labor and we recognize those contributions.

We also acknowledge all immigrant labor including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of this country and continue to serve within our labor force.
 

We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor in our community.
 

Finally,  we remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the US from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors.
