Land Acknowledgement

The Ridge to Bridge event takes place on the unceded lands of the Coast Miwok people, who hold the uncontestable aboriginal title, have occupied, stewarded, held sacred ceremonies, defended and governed according to the traditions of their ancestors, in present-day Marin County, California. These original stewards tended and loved the land long before anyone else, and we acknowledge the vital role their descendants play in the San Francisco Bay Area today. We further acknowledge that the entire Ridge Trail is on the ancestral lands of many other Indigenous Peoples and nations in the Bay Area.
