Our Land Acknowledgement

Our work is rooted in accountability to place, community, and the Indigenous peoples whose lands we live and work on.

Free The Green is privileged to live, work, and learn on the traditional, ancestral, and stolen territories of the Duwamish (dxʷdəwʔabš), and Muckleshoot (bəqəlšuł). We acknowledge that we are residing on Indigenous, and unceded, untreatied land in what is now known as Washington State, USA. We at Free The Green recognize our responsibility to prioritize Indigenous perspectives, leadership, and sovereignty in both within our professional and personal endeavors.
