Board offers land acknowledgment; student representatives introduced
Summary
Dr. Giesland delivered a land acknowledgement honoring the Stillaguamish people and the board introduced student representatives Serenity Roth, Catherine Westfall, Charlie Roane and Elijah Seiler before moving to routine agenda items.
At the opening of the Dec. 10 meeting, Dr. Giesland delivered a land acknowledgment recognizing that the meeting took place on the traditional territory of the Stillaguamish people, noting their long-term habitation and cultural practices of fishing, hunting and gathering.
The presiding director then introduced who was in attendance, naming soon-to-be-sworn directors and four student representatives: Serenity Roth, Catherine Westfall, Charlie Roane and Elijah Seiler. Board members and students paused for a group photograph before the board moved to Item 3a, which the presiding director described as community and ledger reports and a future decision on representative assignments.
The land acknowledgement and student introductions were procedural and ceremonial parts of the meeting and did not include votes or policy decisions in the recorded segments.
