Land Acknowledgement
Washington CEEDAR acknowledges that the State of Washington is located on the homelands of Indigenous People, who have lived in this region from time immemorial and continue to live in this region today. Currently, there are 42 tribes, 35 of which are federally recognized that share traditional homelands and waterways in what is now Washington State. Some of these are nations and confederacies that represents multiple tribes and bands.
