We acknowledge that Bainbridge Island lies within the aboriginal territory of the Suquamish People, the ‘People of Clear Salt Water,’ and we thank them for their enduring stewardship of these lands and waters. We further acknowledge that we operate on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish People. We honor the broader Coast Salish nations—including the Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Muckleshoot—that have cared for this region since time immemorial.
