We respectfully express our gratitude and appreciation to live and create on the unceded traditional territory of the T’Sou-ke First Nation - HÍSW̱KE - as well as in Apple Valley, located on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of the Mdewakanton Dakota people, part of the Oceti Sakowin (Seven Council Fires) - Pidámaya, and along the length of the Mississippi River, where Indigenous peoples have lived and cared for these lands since time immemorial. We strive to uphold our mutual values of storytelling and environmental stewardship.
