Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that Higher Ground Care operates on the traditional lands of the Takelma people, whose descendants are among the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. We honor the Indigenous peoples who cared for this land since time immemorial and recognize that their presence continues today. We commit to listening, learning, and building relationships rooted in respect, reciprocity, and responsibility.
