I live, work, and play near the historic village of paq̓ac̓aɬčuʔ, in the city now known colonially as Seattle (dᶻidᶻəlalič).

The lands and waters of this place have been stewarded since time immemorial by the dxʷdəwʔabš, known as the Duwamish, the people of the inside. Seattle is also the homeland of the Muckleshoot, Suquamish, Tulalip, Puyallup, and Snoqualmie peoples.

To support Indigenous healing, sovereignty, and #LANDBACK, I pay monthly reparations to several Seattle-area tribes who continue to teach and challenge me to stand for land and waters.
