I acknowledge that I am an uninvited resident who lives, works and plays on the unceded, ancestral, and occupied traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Watuth), Stó:lō, Shíshálh (Sechelt) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples. I commit to deepening my understanding of local Indigenous communities who rightfully steward this territory. I acknowledge current systemic oppression as well as a legacy of trauma and the continued effects of the historical wrongs of colonial appropriation, persecution and genocide. I respect the people of these lands, humbly affirming their right to self-determination and my commitment to reconciliation.
