“Our history is a living history, that has throbbed, withstood and survived many centuries of sacrifice. Now it comes forward again with strength. The seeds, dormant for such a long time, break out today with some uncertainty, although they germinate in a world that is at present characterized by confusion and uncertainty.”
- Rigoberta Menchú Tum
Sigh…
All outdoor recreation involves land to participate on, whether that is skiing, climbing, golf, hiking, backpacking, rafting, running and evening canyoning. With that, the land is not just a ski area, it is not just a rock wall, it is not just a gorgeous waterfall. It is culture. Being on it is a privilege and WE have the opportunity on helping keep these lands sacred for those that called this land home long before us.
In accordance to that, we recognize that as society moves from colonialism to a newer, more complex era, these lands are a limited resources. More over, so is indigenous culture. This website promises to push the community towards a better relationship between the sport and that of the culturally significant locations. We attempt to stay away from culturally significant drainages and locations.
If there is a drainage or location that is culturally significant to any tribe, please reach out via our contact form and we will respond ASAP. We care, and so should this community.
