Land Acknowledgement
Land Acknowledgement:
Rooted School Vancouver acknowledges the people whose ancestral lands we inhabit
today. Prior to the introduction of white settlers to the area currently known as Clark
County, this land was cared for by indigenous peoples for thousands of years.
At the time that colonization began, this area of Southwest Washington was occupied
primarily by the Chinook and Cowlitz tribes. Additionally, countless tribes from across
the Pacific Northwest came to this area to trade with one another by using the
Columbia River and its adjoining waterways as an intricate network of trade routes.
For millennia, their communities thrived while maintaining a balanced, sustainable
relationship with the natural world. These values were passed down from generation to
generation and are still practiced by indigenous groups today, including the Cowlitz
and Chinook. We pay our respects to these peoples, both past and present, by
opening a space of recognition, inclusion, and respect for our sovereign tribal partners
and all indigenous students, families, and staff in our community.
