*I have recently moved to Colorado and no longer reside on Ramaytush Ohlone Land. I am actively educating myself on the Indigenous peoples Tséstho’e (Cheyenne), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ hinono’eino’ biito’owu’ (Arapaho), Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), and the Ndé Kónitsąąíí Gokíyaa (Lipan Apache), whose land I now occupy.

I will update my Land Acknowledgment and Call to Learn More once I am better informed. I will leave the Ramaytush Ohlone acknowledgment here, for I occupied their land for five years and still want to honor that.

I want to acknowledge that I create art, live my life on, and am inspired by the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone (pronounced Rah-my-toosh O-lone-ee) peoples, who are the original stewards and inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula.

I wish to pay my respects to the Ancestors, Elders, and Relatives of the Ramaytush Ohlone Community and to affirm their sovereign rights as First Peoples.

I honor the Ramaytush Ohlone for their enduring commitment to steward Mother Earth, and I make my commitment to connect with nature and mitigate my harm by honoring the Ramaytush Ohlone values and by embracing and learning from Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge in how I care for the lands, waters, and all its people.
