Launching 2024!

The Mile High Psychedelic Education & Training Center (MHPETC) is a 501(c)3 that acknowledges that the state of Colorado resides on indigenous ancestral and occupied lands of the Apache nation, the Arapaho nation, the Cheyenne nation, Pueblo tribes, the Shoshone tribe, and the Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) nation. Other Indian tribes whose territory sometimes extended into Colorado included: The Comanche tribe, the Kiowa (Kai -uh-wuh) tribe, and the Navajo tribe. In addition, there are currently two federally recognized Indian tribes in Colorado today: Southern Ute Tribe and Ute Mountain Ute Tribe.We acknowledge the ongoing relationships these Nations have with this land and urge non-Native people to educate themselves about this history and contemporary work of tribal sovereignty within these Nations and their uses of traditional medicines. Through this acknowledgment, we honor the Elders and their descendants of these Indigenous Nations to bring visibility to these long-silenced histories while working toward a more just and equitable future.We acknowledge that place matters as an ongoing movement by not forgetting the cultural, historical, medicinal, environmental, social, and political context of the land we are sitting on today as a focal point of the work and mission of The Mile High Psychedelic Education & Training Center when it comes to community education and psychedelic hard reduction.
