LAND USE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Aspen Film acknowledges, with honor and respect, that the land we reside upon today is the traditional ancestral homelands of the Ute Nations and peoples.

We thank the past, present, and future generations of indigenous people for their stewardship, while also acknowledging the painful history and ill treatment that occurred on these lands.

We celebrate the many contributions made by Native peoples, especially in the fields of storytelling, art, and film and encourage all to recognize and uncover the stories of the original inhabitants of the land we all walk on.
