Honoring the Land and People of New Mexico
We respectfully acknowledge that our wedding celebration takes place on the ancestral lands of the Pueblo, Navajo (Diné), and Apache peoples. We honor the land itself, the indigenous communities who have stewarded it throughout the generations, and their ongoing connection to this territory.
This acknowledgement is a small but important step in the process of working towards reconciliation and building meaningful relationships with Indigenous peoples. We are committed to continuing our journey of learning about the rich history of this land and finding ways to support and uplift indigenous communities in New Mexico.
SUPPORTING NATIVE OWNED BUSINESSES
We're committed to making our celebration not just about us, but a chance to uplift and honor the indigenous communities of New Mexico. We've made donations to local indigenous-led organizations AND ARE ACTIVELY MAKING CHOICES IN PLANNING TO ENSURE WE RECOGNIZE AND RESPECT THE DEEP CONNECTION TO THE LAND THAT INDIGENOUS CULTURES EMBODY.
As part of our commitment to respecting and supporting the indigenous communities of New Mexico, we encourage our guests to explore and purchase from Native-owned businesses BEFORE OR DURING THEIR VISIT. By supporting these businesses, you're not just getting a unique souvenir – you're also contributing to the preservation and celebration of indigenous culture and craftsmanship. WE HAVE COMPILED A LIST OF BUSINESSES TO MAKE THIS SIMPLE!
We invite you, our dear guests, to join us in this spirit of respect, learning, and celebration. Together, we can make our joyous occasion a moment that honors both our love and the rich cultural tapestry of New Mexico.
