Indigenous Peoples' Day 2024

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we want to acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of Mohawk People- past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have kept it throughout the generations. This calls us to commit to learning how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as well.
