The Betties acknowledge the traditional custodians of this place and pays our respects to the Chumash Elders past, present and future for they hold the memories, traditions, and culture of this area. We honor the Chumash people and their rightful place with this land that has been taken from their community as a way to acknowledge the pain, suffering, and violence that the land and its people have experienced and continue to experience. We encourage everyone to learn about the Indigenous territories and nations of this region and become knowledgeable, proactive advocates of narratives that combat colonialism.
