The Full Circle Cycling Land Acknowledgement Project

Artist and avid cyclist Ariel Wickham (@ariel.wickham) recently launched The Full Circle Cycling Land Acknowledgement Project to raise funds and recognize the rich history of the Coast Miwok, the original stewards of modern-day Marin County, California, the birthplace of mountain biking.

The project’s aim is to sell artwork inspired by the land, cycling, and community to give back and support the efforts of the Coast Miwok people. All proceeds will go directly toward ongoing and future Coast Miwok projects (including building a cultural learning center and a land acknowledgment statue), as well as funding Trips for Kids Marin, a group working to make cycling accessible for everyone. You can watch a video introduction to the project below, then continue on for a look at the items that are available as part of this fundraiser.

The three limited-edition pieces available are a 100% cotton bandana, an 11 x 17″ poster print, and a cotton canvas musette bag that was handcrafted by our friend Jessica Chan of Tunitas Carryall. Only 50 posters and 75 musettes were produced, and the items range in price from $30 to $40. See all three below.

You can find additional details about the project, resources to learn more about the Coast Miwok people, and purchase a bandana, poster, or musette to support this effort here. You can also find some background on our addition of land acknowledgement throughout the site here.
