At Blue Waters Kayaking, we honor that we paddle, teach, and gather on the unceded ancestral lands and waters of the Coast Miwok people of present-day West Marin.
We acknowledge the centuries of displacement, injustice, and ongoing erasure that the Coast Miwok have endured — and continue to endure. With deep respect for their traditional lifeways, we are committed to listening, learning, and walking in solidarity as we strive to care for these lands and waters in ways that honor their wisdom and presence.
In recognition of this responsibility, we contribute select programs in support of the Alliance for Felix Cove, and we invite others to learn more and join us in uplifting their vision for cultural restoration, land rematriation, and community healing.
