As stewards of the land, we at Saluda Community Land Trust recognize and acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of Cherokee, Catawba, and Yuchi Peoples who have been its caretakers for generations. We honor their enduring connection to this land and express gratitude for their contributions to our community. Additionally, we are committed to honoring and preserving the histories of all previous occupants of the lands we work to protect, including enslaved, incarcerated, and free communities of people of African descent.
