Land and Language Acknowledgment
Visit Tacoma-Pierce County acknowledges that we reside on, and - by nature of our business - invite others to meet and recreate in the ancestral homeland of the Coast Salish people, and specifically of the Puyallup Tribe.
The Puyallup people have lived on and stewarded these lands since the beginning of time, and continue to do so today, as they also carry on the use of the living Lushootseed language. We recognize that this land and language acknowledgment is one small step toward true allyship, and we commit to uplifting the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond.
