With humility and gratitude, we acknowledge that we live, work, and care for the ancestral lands of the Southern Pomo and the Graton Rancheria people, whose relationship with this land, its waters, forests, and valleys spans millennia. As an environmental group, we recognize that true stewardship grows from both policy and partnership. We commit to listening to and uplifting Indigenous leadership in conservation, fire stewardship, and land protection, honoring not just the history of this place but its living future. Let our actions reflect this responsibility.
Our office in downtown Santa Rosa is located on the ancestral home of the Southern Pomo people, past, present, and future. We recognize them as the first people and the first stewards of this land. We are on occupied territory and acknowledge the ongoing devastation of colonization.
SCCA acknowledges Indigenous Peoples as the traditional stewards of the land. This land acknowledgment calls us to commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of the land we inhabit. We recognize that every resident of Sonoma County has benefited, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land
