Central Kitsap School board plans to start tribal land acknowledgments
Published
BREMERTON, Wash. - Central Kitsap School Board President Bruce Richards typically opens meetings in the same manner: following a call to order, he explains the rules for public comment before reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
In the future, Richards could be lending his voice for another type of pledge, one designed as a gesture of gratitude and respect for the indigenous people who first called Kitsap County home.
Last week, Richards and other members expressed the desire to include land acknowledgments that honor Kitsap’s two federally recognized tribes: the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam, the Kitsap Sun reported.
