As Indigenous people, we are continuations of our lands and our Peoples.

Rose Island Farm sits on the territory of the Puyallup people who continue to be the protectors of this land. Their ancestors, along with the ancestors of all of the Coastal Salish Peoples, give us strength and guidance as we raise our family and tend the soil in this beautiful place. I recognize that we as a Tsimshian and Nuxalk family are guests on this territory and we don’t take this privilege for granted. As guests, we know it is our responsibility to open our farm to our Indigenous relatives as a place for healing and reconnecting to the many plant medicines that belong in the Puget Sound region.
