Acknowledgement of Lands

In the Spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, the Kootenai Environmental Alliance pays homage to the indigenous people, Schitsu’umsh, Coeur d’Alene Tribe, a people that have been here since time immemorial, are still here and bring to light their ancient heritage, and on whose land and water KEA works to conserve, protect and restore.   We recognize and honor the sovereignty of the Coeur d’Alene’s, and indigenous peoples in the territories of eastern Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana; including the Spokane’s, the Kootenai, the Kalispell, Colville Confederated Tribes and the Kootenai-Salish.

KEA celebrates and honors the culture, heritage, strength and diversity of Native American peoples.
Indigenous peoples and communities who are organizing for justice and protecting natural resources
have our support and solidarity.
