While it is a well-traveled land, we would like to respectfully acknowledge that the land on which we gather and the water that surrounds us is the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi Peoples. We are grateful to work, learn and live in this area.
