## Our mission

The Arcata Chamber of Commerce is a diverse, nonpolitical member organization serving the Arcata, Humboldt area, working as a catalyst to support business entrepreneurship, collaboration, and innovation while promoting a strong sense of community.

We promote our members, bring people together at mixers, workshops, and field trips, and produce community events on the Arcata Plaza, from the 4th of July Jubilee to the Season of Wonder & Light. Our Welcome Center helps visitors make the most of their time on the Redwood Coast.

## Land acknowledgment

The Arcata Chamber of Commerce would like to acknowledge that we are located on the unceded ancestral territory and present homeland of the Wiyot peoples, which includes the Wiyot Tribe, Bear River Rancheria, and Blue Lake Rancheria. Please join us in acknowledging this fact as we visit and enjoy the city of Arcata and its surrounding areas.

We make this land acknowledgment in recognition that our words must be matched by action and approach. Therefore, we encourage direct giving to Tribes and Native-led efforts in Humboldt County including Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Tolowa, Wailaki, Wiyot, and Yurok, and we encourage those in Wiyot territory to make a contribution to the [Wiyot Tribe](https://www.wiyot.us/) honor tax.
