Mountain Ash Press acknowledges that we live and work in  the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Mountain regions of Virginia, which was taken from its original stewards, the Siouan Indians of the Monacan and Manahoac tribes. We recognize their current and historical contributions to this region, and their continued relationship with their lands and waterways. 

We acknowledge that we live and work in Toronto which is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
