Land Acknowledgement

Picture
I acknowledge the traditional stewards of the lands whose ancestors have resided since Time Immemorial. Many Indigenous people thrive in this place - alive and strong (a).
​I express my gratitude to the Tongva, Kucamongan, and Gabrielino people past and present for loving and caring for this land that was stolen from them. 

​In response, I show my care by donating to the First Nations Development Institute to support healthy Native communities in California. I also purpose to buy and read books by First Nation authors. 
I believe fiction and poetry can, oftentimes, teach us more than non-fiction about culture, customs, beliefs and history. It can be a gateway to non-fiction, truth, understanding and action. My hope is, if you haven't, you will decide to read literature by First Nation authors and donate to an organization that supports Native communities. ​
