inSpirit is respectfully based in Oga Po’geh (White Shell Water Place) – occupied Tewa territory, known as Santa Fe, NM. With permission, we share the words of Dr. Estevan Rael-Galvez, who worked with community members, including Tesuque Pueblo, as they reflect our intentions with this acknowledgment:
"For those that continue to live in this place, generational or recently arrived, all must recognize the astonishing complexity of this magnificent and sovereign landscape and its people. Acknowledgment also requires holding both the beauty and the pain and supporting ongoing dialogue and story sharing, all of which reflect a vibrant and equitable community. We are the stewards of this land, of its water and air and of each other. Our breath, like the breath of those that precede us, will be left for those that follow us."
