 to the stage for an acknowledgement of this land, Coyote Woman. If you can hear me say, oh, right, that's a little inside about after ceremonies and songs and prayers or even amazing statements being shared, when we say these things, we send it out in a good way, and we end it by saying, oh, and then you can fall up like, oh, I can clap now. Mishmi Tuhis, Conracot Canyon Coyote Woman, Sarah's Roots. I come from Indian Canyon Nation. I am a Mutsun Aloni woman. And right now we are on Ramatush Aloni territory. Can you say Ramatush? Ramatush. Right here is near a village site known as Yalamu. Can you say Yalamu? Yalamu. You just acknowledge two indigenous words of this territory before English was spoken, before Spanish was spoken, and these are the first words of the First Nations peoples that have been stewarding and tending this land for thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of years. It is due to the indigenous people that these lands have been so beautifully maintained, the land management practices, and just our relationship and responsibility to the earth. And it's so very important that we recognize and acknowledge indigenous protocol that's becoming familiar with the peoples of whose land we are on. I come from a matrilineal society. My mother and my grandmother believe that when song, ceremony, and dancing stops, so does the earth. I too believe that. I'm here to offer a formal welcome. So welcome to Aloni territory. And I want to offer a grandmother song to honor our grandmothers, their grandmothers, and an all mother earth for without them and without her we would not be here. We share this time and space together for a reason. So it's with that humility, that gratitude, that present-mindedness that I offer this song to you here today. So thank you for acknowledging indigenous protocol. So very much. My name is Canyon Coyote Woman from Indian Canyon Nation, and you just acknowledged the Ramatush Aloni peoples, and I'm so very thankful. So welcome to our homelands. Welcome to the ancestral territories. And let's start incorporating and bringing in indigenous voices to make solutions for the future. Oh! Oh!
