Today, October 12th, in observance of National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the SIMBA and Live Local INW offices will be closed. We honor the Spokane Tribe of Indians: Sntútʔulixʷi, Snxʷmeneʔi, Sc̓qesciłni, and Sčewíleʔ (Upper Band, Middle Band, Lower Band, Chewelah Band), who have lived and cared for these lands since time immemorial. We pay our respects to their Elders – past, present, and emerging – and show gratitude for the land, river, and people who have sustained life here for generations. May we learn from one another’s stories, so that we may nurture the relationship of the People of the Spokane Tribe and to all those who share this land.
