Land Acknowledgment

Prickly Pear Land Trust recognizes that the lands we conserve are the traditional and contemporary territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfeet), the Sélish (Salish), the Ktunaxa (Kootenai), the Métis (Little Shell Chippewa), the Apsáalooke (Crow), and the Shoshone-Bannock peoples. The Indigenous Nations who continue their connections with this ground, these waters, and all creatures have always and will always be the original stewards of the land. PPLT prioritizes Indigenous partners and actively seeks projects that respect their cultures, honor their values, and create a collaborative conservation vision.
