<[link removed]>Friend --



As we rest and reflect on the significance of this holiday weekend, we come together in respect and recognition of the invaluable heritage that Indigenous communities have preserved and shared for generations.?



Today is Native American Heritage Day, and we join in honoring and celebrating the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of indigenous peoples of North America. We acknowledge? the enduring resilience of First Nations as stewards of this land for the past 13,000 years.??



We sit on unceded land where 574 culturally rich and diverse federally recognized tribes live and work today. Acknowledging the history of imperialism, colonization, theft and genocide is essential to building a foundation of trust and accountability with our indigenous neighbors. We do not run from these realities, rather we choose to embrace the these truths, as they are an opportunity for growth and to be in a right relationship with land and people.



Thank you for taking this journey towards collective healing with us. Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Native American Heritage Day!



In gratitude and solidarity,



Jill
