RIPE AREA Arts + Nature Festival

We acknowledge that the  riparian ecosystems of the American, Cosumnes and Yuba Watersheds of the Sierra Foothills are located in the unceded traditional homelands of the Miwok, Nisenan, Maidu, and Washoe Peoples who have lived here for thousands of years and live here still.  We recognize and mourn the painful history of genocide and devastation of the lands and waters. With our work, we are grateful for opportunities to learn from and partner with Indigenous Peoples around a shared vision for stewardship and restoration.
