QSAF acknowledges that we are grounded on the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Goshute, Shoshone, Paiute, and Ute peoples. We recognize that Indigenous peoples, the original stewards of this land, have been living, working, and residing on this land since time immemorial. We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this land, and we honor and respect the Indigenous peoples still connected to the land on which we gather. 

As we reflect on what it means to be grounded in queerness, to be grounded and queer, we think of

• The alignment between what is visible and invisible 

• The ongoing practice of embracing identity and authenticity 

• Breath: both inhalations and exhalations 

• Intentional and continued decolonization work    

• Our root systems 

• Our relationship to the ground, to Earth, to home 

• The queerness of our own Utah landscape  

• The need to resist immediate oppression while also building resilience in the long term 

• Resistance and softness 

• Bold imagination
