Lands, Waterways, and Skies

My work takes place in and amongst the ancestral lands, waterways, and skies of the Coast Salish peoples which include the Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, and Stillaguamish.

I pay my respects to Coast Salish elders, past, present and future, who steward this place. My work is informed by their enduring connection to this place and I am committed to building relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples based on respect and reciprocity.

I am a non-Indigenous person who is in an emerging process of learning how to fulfill my responsibilities to the lands, waterways, skies, and peoples who live in the Salish Sea.
