Anti-Racism Statement
I am White Person, and I am committed to being an anti-racist. I know that anti-racism is an ongoing and life long practice of accountability and action. I am doing currently doing work to learn about ancestral veneration and reciprocity through my Celtic (Irish/Scottish) blood ancestry, and ancestors of land/sea/sky. I strive to be in right relationship with the land and others through these lenses, and in reciprocity to the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people I they live, work, and learn. Please look to the Anti-Racism Resources tab for more.
