We acknowledge that the land on which our business resides is the occupied ancestral and traditional lands of the Hinóno'éi-no' (Arapaho), Tsétséhéståhese (Cheyenne), Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), and the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires) peoples. These indigenous communities have maintained a deep connection to this land for generations, and we affirm and honor Indigenous sovereignty, history, contributions,  culture, knowledge, and experiences. We also recognize the ongoing impact of colonization, forced removal, and the systematic disenfranchisement of indigenous peoples. We stand in solidarity with indigenous communities, working towards equity, justice, and understanding. As we continue to learn about and navigate our relationship with the land and its original caretakers, we commit to promoting awareness and understanding of indigenous history, culture, and contemporary issues. We strive to be respectful and responsible stewards of the land and to support initiatives that uplift and empower indigenous voices.
