LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We gather with humility and gratitude on the ancestral lands and waters of the Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and Stockbridge-Munsee peoples. Central Wisconsin remains home to Indigenous persons—resilient friends and neighbors—who continue to work, worship, and create better futures for all.
As a community rooted in faith and stewardship, we commit to listening, learning, and walking gently on this earth—honoring not only the past but also our shared responsibility to the future. Through conservation, reverence for creation, and ongoing relationship with Indigenous neighbors, we strive to be caretakers of these sacred lands and waters, in the spirit of healing and reciprocity.
