Land Acknowledgment Statement
Thornton Creek Alliance acknowledges the ancestral land of the Lushootseed-speaking people of this region, who have stewarded this land since time immemorial and who are very much alive and present as good stewards of the land to this day. It is with gratitude to and because of them that we have the honor of co-tending the lands and waters with the hope of restoring the watershed to a healthy ecosystem where life can be sustained and thrive for generations to come.
