Land Acknowledgement

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we operate, specifically the Wenatchee River located on the P'squosa tribal lands, the Tieton River located on Yakama tribal lands, and the White Salmon River located on Wasco tribal lands, is stolen indigenous land.
