Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

I want to acknowledge that as I travel throughout the regions of the world, the lands I will be stepping onto are sacred lands that rightfully belong to the many indigenous tribes who have lived there. Since time immemorial, indigenous people’s have lived all over the world. Mass genocide over hundreds of years and the acceleration of colonization has severely damaged and forever altered their way of life. It is important to acknowledge these people, their lives and their stories. This list is not a full list and is subject to change over time.

I acknowledge that I will be traveling on lands that are home to:
