Land Acknowledgment

The Human Compost Company acknowledges that our 142-acre property in Au Sable Forks sits on the traditional, unceded lands of the Haudenosaunee — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora nations — who have tended these Adirondack forests, waters, and mountains since time immemorial. We are committed to reciprocity, cultural and climate healing, and the restoration of native ecosystems on this land.
