Bellingham Public Library Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we gather on territory that has been the traditional and ancestral homeland to the Lhaq’temish (Lummi people), the Nooksack people, and other Coast Salish tribes of this region Since Time Immemorial.
We honor our shared responsibility to this land and these waters, we commit to learning from indigenous wisdom, and we strive to repair and deepen our relationships as neighbors and friends.
