INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is with deep, sincere respect we acknowledge that this podcast was recorded and produced on both the unceded and ancestral native lands of the Muscogee Creek Nation (currently known as Atlanta, Ga.) and the unceded, ancestral lands of the Duwamish Tribe (currently known as Seattle, Wash.). We honor the lands and the people of both the Muscogee Tribe, which was forced from its land under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and the Duwamish Tribe, who became signatories of the Treaty of Point Elliot in 1855 and lost one of its largest villages to a fire set by colonial settlers in 1895.
