Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Healthy By Design’s initiatives and the community that we serve are located on the land of tribal nations whose time in the area ranged from over tens of thousands years to hundreds of years.
These tribes included:
The Assiniboine (Nakoda), Blackfeet (Amskapi Pikuni), Northern Cheyenne (Tsetsêhesêstâhase/So’taahe), Crow (Apsaalooke), Gros Ventre (A’aninin), and Sioux (Dakota/Lakota).
We recognize their connection to this region and give thanks for the opportunity to live, work, play, learn, and collaborate with our partners on their traditional homeland.
