Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Land acknowledgement

[PAUL CULLEN (paul.cullen]

Sunnyside Village Cohousing in Marysville WA has a similar land 
acknowledgement, which we read at the beginning of each General Circle meeting:

"We want to start with an acknowledgement of the First Nations. We each stand 
on different soil from different native tribes. We acknowledge that the future 
home of Sunnyside Village Cohousing will be on the land formerly occupied by 
the Salish tribes, by the Snohomish and by the Tulalip family of tribes. May we 
be respectful of the past and have honorable intentions in our future."
