We would like to acknowledge that we live and operate on the stolen lands and unceded territory of the Oceti Ŝakowiŋ (Seven Council Fires) — Dakota/Nakota/Lakota (Sioux) and Anishinabewaki (Chippewa and Ojibwe) First Nations, who have been stewards of our region’s land and waters Since Time Immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations.

We are continuously working at decolonizing ourselves on every level possible and we stand in solidarity with indigenous people here and everywhere in the world.
