evolv1 is located on the unceded traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishnaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples, who have lived sustainably on this land for many generations. In fact, the Seventh Generation principle is an ancient Haudenosaunee philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future. We deeply respect the rich history, knowledge, and gifts of Indigenous Peoples.
