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 the local Indigenous communities who have stewarded this territory for millennia. I recognize the existence of 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 as well as exploring how to live in solidarity, toward reconciliation.
