LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We acknowledge that we are on ancestral lands of the Apache people. We bow to their elder, past and present, the stewards of this vast area for countless generations before its total seizure made by more recent settlers in the mid-1800s. SkyHarvest acknowledges the nomadic Apache, drawn here through the seasons by abundant food, healing herbs and rare desert waters that still flow. We acknowledge the pain etched into this soil, the harm, the exile and unkept promises, and the absence of friendship owed to those who once called this place home. We dedicate these words to healing: to seeing equal access to the land and fairly-shared resources, to friendship, abundance, good health and long lives, to happiness and freedom from suffering, for all beings, everywhere.
