What do we believe?

Land Acknowledgment

We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the ancestral lands of this region’s native peoples. These lands were stewarded for thousands of years by the Chugach Alutiiq/Sugpiat and Ahtna people.

In Sugt’stun - the language of the Sugpiat - this area is traditionally called Suacit

“people of the place that rises into view.”

Suacit and the surrounding Prince William Sound provided a bountiful harvest for the native peoples and played an integral role as an overland trade route that linked Interior Alaska to Prince William Sound.

We acknowledge the painful history of colonization and the resilience of the indigenous residents who still live here today. We are grateful to the ancient and current Indigenous stewards of this land.
