Location

Land Acknowledgement

We are visitors to the traditional, ancestral, unceded land of the Tabahtea (Ta-bah-tay) Pomo, who have been living on, working on, and caring for this land for millennia. The Tabahtea lived here for at least 5,000 years before the Spanish, Mexican, Russian, and US occupation. We acknowledge, honor, and express gratitude to the original People of this land, and in that acknowledgement, we begin the journey of challenging the erasure and invisibilization of those who have tended this place for thousands of years.
