Acknowledgment of Indigenous Peoples and Tradational Heritage
SBOCC would like to acknowledge indigenous and traditional heritage. First, we recognize and respect the history of outrigger canoe paddling that traces its roots in Polynesian and Hawaiian culture. We would also like to acknowledge Santa Barbara's local indigenous peoples, especially the Chumash, the original stewards of the land and waters where we recreate. Our team aims to do our best (although we know it won’t be perfect and we are eager to learn) to give the utmost respect to these people, history, and culture as we perpetuate the tradition and love for outrigger canoe paddling.
