Northwest Maritime Center dock

Land Acknowledgement

Northwest Maritime Center is on land that is loved, cared for, and reverently stewarded by the Indigenous people of the Salish Sea and has been since time immemorial.

Today, Indigenous people are our neighbors, colleagues, and partners in a shared love and respect for the sea and its teachings.

We are grateful to respectfully live and work in this place. This acknowledgment is one act in the ongoing process of working to deepen our relationship with the people of these lands and waters.
