I recognize the un-ceded homeland, xaʔxáʔ tumxʷulaʔxʷ of the Sinixt people as the ground upon which my family is blessed to live, love and thrive. I use my privilege to show up as an ally and an accomplice whenever and wherever possible to support Indigenous cultural renewal, resistance to Empire and to heal both nature and culture for all earth people. I give thanks to the land and the people to whom is belongs for the abundance, health and peace my family is blessed to enjoy. In service of the Great Turning.
