Land Acknowledgement

404 FOUND Arts Residency will take place on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples. Let us acknowledge that these are the ancestral lands and waters of the Coast Salish people who have called this place home since time immemorial and let us honor inherent, aboriginal and treaty rights that have been passed down from generation to generation by those who have lived in the Salish Sea basin, throughout the San Juan Islands and the North Cascades watershed. Please join me in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude for our Indigenous neighbors for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.

*“Whenever we lose track of our own obsessions, our self-concerns, because we drift for a minute, an hour even, of pure (almost pure) response to that insouciant life:*
*cloud, bird, fox, the flow of light, the dancing*
*pilgrimage of water, vast stillness*
*of spellbound ephemerae on a lit windowpane,*
*animal voices, mineral hum, wind*
*conversing with rain, ocean with rock, stuttering of fire to coal—then something tethered in us, hobbled like a donkey on its patch of gnawed grass and thistles, breaks free.”*

“Can you listen as if it was your sister speaking? Your grandson? Your niece? Your father? Your aunt? In the Buddha’s teaching, all beings have been our mothers and fathers at some point in the past … Whether or not we “believe” in rebirth, we might approach that teaching as an invitation to connect to our shared humanity, and try to listen to these voices as if they were our own family and friends speaking directly to us …. “
