Our Fellowship is located on Ohlone land in the Muwekma Ohlone Tribal Area. We are moved to acknowledge that for thousands of years this land was inhabited by people who lived here peacefully and cared for it in a way that honored all that was here before us, and that they were invaded, forcibly and dishonorably removed from their land, leaving many of them homeless. During multiple waves of colonization, they were systematically murdered and brutally mistreated, and the consequences of that racism and mistreatment continue to this day.

We hope that by stating these facts clearly that we can amplify that truth, learn from their wisdom and that of their ancestors what it means to be stewards of this beautiful land, and be inspired to seriously and thoughtfully consider how we might work to repair those injustices and move forward together in honorable ways.
