We acknowledge that the entirety of the TART Trails network exists on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – the Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. We are grateful for the generous care with which the Anishinaabeg, and those of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, have given and continue to give to this land.

We are committed to amplifying the full, longstanding history of the land with all who traverse the trails in the TART network and beyond. Our collaborative work to care for this land that we cherish is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those on whose ancestral lands we reside.
