We recognize, publicly and intentionally, that we live, work, and organize on stolen and occupied traditional land that is just one piece of a larger, boundless terrain for Indigenous Peoples; Ute Tribe, Jicarilla Apache, Arapaho, Comanche, the Diné Nations, and others.

We acknowledge that 48 contemporary tribal nations are historically tied to the lands that make up the state of Colorado. We would like to pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and choose to honor and acknowledge the original stewards of this land in hopes of building mutual respect and understanding across all cultures - those that reside here and those that pass through here today and in the future.
