    ** LAND ACKNOWLEDGEM ENT

    We acknowledge and honor the aboriginal people on whose ancestral homelands we work-the lkirakutsum Band of the Shasta Nation, as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who make their home here today.

    We honor the first stewards in the Rogue Valley and the lands we love and depend on: Tribes with ancestral lands in and surrounding the geography of the Ashland Watershed include the original past, present and future indigenous inhabitants of the Shasta ,Takelma, and Athabaskan people. We also recognize and acknowledge the Shasta village of K’wakhakha – “Where the Crow Lights” – that is now the Ashland City Plaza.
