Web of Life Counseling acknowledges the indigenous people of the land we now call Colorado Springs, where Web of Life Counseling is based:

More than 48 federally recognized tribes are the indigenous peoples of, and are deeply connected to this place. Some, but not all of which are: Southern Ute Indian Tribe, Ute Mountain Ute Indian Tribe, Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation, Jicarilla Apache Nation, Comanche Nation, Pawnee Nation, Kiowa Tribe, Northern Arapaho Tribe, Northern Cheyenne Tribe, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.

We acknowledge that the people of this land are a living culture, and honor their past and continuing presence. 

We honor their persistence in resistance.

We acknowledge that it was settler colonialism that displaced them from their lands, homes, language, culture and relationships. 

We acknowledge that while the story of genocide, displacement, loss of language, culture, and connection is familiar to all who have indigenous ancestry, we as American settlers and our descendants are now the beneficiaries and privilege holders. 

We acknowledge it is our responsibility to strengthen our connection and embody reciprocity with the people living here, this land, and all of the more than human relations who call this land home.

We acknowledge that this land acknowledgement is imperfect and we strive to continue to learn to be good and honorable family members.
