Land acknowledgement

I honor Tscha-kole-chy, its pre-colonial history, and the Indigenous People upon whose traditional lands my home now sits. I am located in the traditional territory of the Lower Skagit, Swinomish, Suqamish, and Snohomish tribes. Our island was named Whidbey by colonial settlers in 1792.
