We Acknowledge...

We from the Jackson Hole Climate Action Collective, acknowledge we are currently living, gathering, and learning as colonizers in the unceded and occupied territory of the Eastern Shoshone, Shoshone Bannock, Northern Arapaho, Cheyenne and many other indigenous Peoples whose past, present and future generations steward these lands. We acknowledge their deep connection to this place established and passed on through innumerable generations living and carrying out their hopes, their dreams, and their lives on these lands from which they were displaced. We encourage you to take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that brings each of us together here in the present. We honor and respect traditional ecological knowledge and seek its wisdom.
