Olympic Peninsula Territory Acknowledgement
As we embark on experiences within the breathtaking landscapes of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, we humbly acknowledge and pay our respects to the indigenous communities whose ancestral lands we traverse. This territory holds deep historical significance for the Hoh (Chalá·at), Skykomish (sq̓ixʷəbš), Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, Port Gamble S’Klallam (Nuxsklai'yem), Quileute (Quillayute), and Quinault Nations (kʷínayɬ), among others, who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. We recognize the enduring connection these communities maintain with the rivers, forests, and coastal environments of the Olympic Peninsula and inside Olympic National Park boundaries. We honor their rich cultural heritage, resilient traditions, and ongoing contributions to the vibrant tapestry of this region.
