Notable Quotes

"BNC is honored to host our partners from the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi. We recognize that Indigenous people have longstanding relationships with and responsibilities to this land that extend far beyond the history of our organization. Part of BNC's responsibility as an organization rooted in nature and land stewardship is to make space when our Tribal partners request land and privacy to gather, practice traditions, and be together in community."
