Place Acknowledgement
In Place recognizes that we live and work in the unceded ancestral lands and waters of the Támal-ko people of present-day West Marin County.
We recognize the centuries of injustice that these people have endured and still endure to this day. As an organization we deeply respect the traditional lifeways of the Támal-ko and are committed to following their lead in learning how to care for these lands and waters, so all may flourish.
As an organization we wholeheartedly support the efforts and aspirations of the Támal-ko to rematriate their ancestral lands and waters and to thrive as people. To this end, we donate a portion of our program fees to these two organizations: Alliance for Felix Cove and the Coast Miwok Tribal Council of Marin. We encourage you to support them as well.
