A. Call to Order

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the City of Lynnwood is located on the traditional lands of the Snohomish Tribe and the
confederation of Tulalip Tribes and their families. For generations, these Indigenous communities have lived on
this land, and we recognize, support, and advocate alongside them.


We also acknowledge the forced removal of Indigenous communities from their Homelands as a result of the
1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. We understand that Land Acknowledgements are only the first step in our efforts to
support Coast Salish tribes and educate non-Natives about their lived history. We strive to achieve this through
building relationships with Indigenous communities, supporting Indigenous commerce, government-to-
government partnerships, and lifting indigenous voices to create equity for all.

Through these actions, we hope to not only pay respect to the past but also collaborate in creating a
sustainable future, hand in hand with the first protectors of our shared environment.
