Diversity Alliance of the Puget Sound acknowledges that all our members live and work on the unceded homelands of Native peoples, who have lived in this region since time immemorial. The homes of those who govern this organization are located on the traditional homelands of the Coast Salish, Chehalis, Klallam, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Quinault, Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Suquamish, Stkamish, Smulkamis, Skopamish, Snohomish, Sduhubš, Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples, the Mthe Steh-Chass Band of Indigenous people of the Squaxin Island, the Puyallup, Muckleshoot, Tulalip, Spokane Tribes, the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, and the Ohlone/Costanoan Esselen Nation. We acknowledge that fluid and diverse gender identities have been present in Indigenous communities since long before the arrival of western colonizers, and that these identities subsequently have been systematically oppressed through violence. We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples who still occupy and safeguard these lands, and recognize that a land acknowledgement is only a small step towards allyship, which must be accompanied by action. We commit to respecting, celebrating, and uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of Native people as we advocate for the liberation of all people existing beyond the confines of societal gender roles.
