We are on Indigenous Land. 

In the Puget Sound Region, we are on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Nations, including the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Suquamish, Puyallup, and Tulalip Tribes. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the diverse Coast Salish people, many of whom still fight for Federal recognition, who have stewarded this land since time immemorial and who continue to steward this land today in resistance to colonization. 

You can explore a few perspectives of tribal lands in the Puget Sound region through these maps on the Chief Seattle Club website. You can also explore this interactive map to learn more about whose land you’re on.

Community Stewardship of Land is not a new concept for many Indigenous people, Black people and people of color. We are grateful for the wisdom and leadership of Indigenous, Black and Brown people who have informed this website, directly and indirectly.
