We are on the ancestral territory of the
Nooksack, Lummi and other Coast Salish peoples.
They are the original inhabitants of this place.
They are fishers, hunters, gatherers and harvesters
of nature's abundance, and have been so since time immemorial.
We are neighbors and friends, and we are grateful
for our numerous opportunities to learn, live and grow together,
building lasting relationships so that all may prosper.
