We honor, respect, and acknowledge Elk Grove's first inhabitants, the Plains Meewalk, who ruled as sovereign caretakers of this land and these waterways since time immemorial. We commemorate and advocate for the descendants, the Wilton Rancheria tribe, the only federally recognized tribe in Sacramento County, who endured because of the bravery, resiliency, and determination of their ancestors, tribal members and leaders. At this point, would you all please silence your electronics, your cell phones, and other devices? And I will ask the clerk to read our customary greeting. Excuse me.
