Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

Wonderbloom acknowledges that we have the responsibility to have an ongoing relationship with Indigenous peoples and foster an understanding of their culture and history. The indigenous people who first inhabited the land on which Wonderbloom is located were the Shoshone and Goshute. They spoke the Shoshone language and called themselves Kammitakka. They were hunters and gatherers - eating roasted muskrat, grasshoppers, jackrabbit and pickleweed. They migrated with the seasons between Utah and Idaho. We acknowledge their land was stolen through dishonest, manipulative and destructive methods. Many indigenous people were hurt, killed, and driven away. We champion indigenous people who are leaders in our communities and country such as Debbie Haaland (U.S. Secretary of the Interior) and Tia Yazzie (indianyouth.org). We commit to including educational activities in our curriculum that honor the land on which we reside and the people who cared for it before it was taken from them. We do this so the next generation will do the important work of passing on this historical knowledge and respect. (07/2020)
