We acknowledge the land that we live and work on is located upon unceded land belonging to the Taos Pueblo, Ute, Lipan Apache, and Tiwa people, who have served as the original stewards of this land for millennia, and who continue to inhabit this land today. These are our roots.

We acknowledge the violent and painful legacy of colonization against the original inhabitants of Taos, and the cascading effects of this harm, which continue to this day.

With this acknowledgement, we pay respect to local indigenous peoples, and commit ourselves to learning the true history of the land we reside on. We affirm tribal sovereignty, and will dedicate ourselves to creating meaningful relationships with the indigenous communities of Taos, honoring their ongoing traditions and legacy
