We at Fairbanks Open Radio
broadcast our signal
from the ancestral territories
of the Lower Tanana Dene.

The Indigenous peoples here
never surrendered lands
to any colonial state.

We acknowledge this both
in thanks to the Indigenous communities
who have lived with this land
for generations
and in recognition
of the historical and ongoing
legacy of colonial capitalism.
 
We acknowledge this
as a point of reflection
for each of us as we work
to dismantle colonial injustices.
