We would like to acknowledge that we are using and running on Native lands in the areas we hold our camps. We are running on traditional Shasta, Kurok, Yurok, Modoc, Tolowa Dee-ni, Chetco, Tekelma, Klamath, Paiute, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Molalla, Wenatchi, Coast Salish, Nisenan, Washoe, and Yakama lands. The Native peoples were the original stewards of the land we now use and one of our camp goals is to connect our time on these lands to them so that we may gain a better understanding of the land and how to be good stewards of it in the future.
