We acknowledge that RTC sits uninvited on the ancestral land of the Puget Salish people, including the

Duwamish,Suquamish,Snoqualmie,Tulalip, and

MuckleshootNations. We are grateful to the original inhabitants of this land, upon which we gather and dialogue. We also acknowledge our increasingly virtual world, in which RTC's work is done across multiple indigenous lands, in some cases, away from Puget Salish territories. We thank the original caretakers of our local lands and waters, who are still here.

Beyond acknowledgment, we each have an obligation to learn about and support our local tribes. Find out how on our resources page, which includes scholarships for Indigenous students.
