Land Acknowledgment
BSC recognizes that the land, including the area surrounding Lake Ballinger, is the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people. We acknowledge that we occupy the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular the Tulalip, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, and Sauk-Suiattle Tribes. We respect your right to sovereignty and self-determination, and are committed to being better listeners, learners, and in lifting indigenous voices.
