I currently live and work as an uninvited guest on Coast Salish Land. As such, I recognize the ways I benefit from the ongoing harm of colonization and the displacement of the still federally unrecognized Duwamish Tribe. As part of an effort to rematriate this land to its traditional stewards, I pay Real Rent Duwamish and support The Heron’s Nest Landback Project. If you similarly benefit from the colonial legacy of the land you occupy, I encourage you to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities and support the #LandBack movement.
