i. advocacy ࿓ land protection ࿓ decolonization

I acknowledge the educational labors of many BIPOC, especially Alaska Native, and non-native people encouraging me on the way to becoming a better relation in decolonization and abolitionist work.

I acknowledge the Peoples & Lands in which much of this work has been happening: Throughout the unceded territories of the Indigenous Peoples of Alaska, particularly, the traditional territories of the lower Tanana Dene Peoples and the Dena’ina Peoples. I acknowledge and honor the ancestral & present land stewardship and place-based knowledge of the peoples of these territories.
