Land Acknowledgement

The story of Route 66 is a colonial one and often ignores the indigenous people of America, many of whom were uprooted, moved on and treated horrendously.

I would like to acknowledge the ancestral land on which the road travels through and the Native Americans who call it home.

It is my desire to learn more about this area and share that education where I can through this platform.
