Land Acknowledgement
While we may each be in different locations physically, we are all part of the community at UBC Vancouver and the infrastructure (including our servers) for this virtual work continues to sit on the lands on which Musqueam have lived for thousands of years. It is our privilege to be able to connect our work to these lands.
Please take time to consider the traditional territories and the peoples of those territories on which you currently reside and work. Native Land Digital, a BC not-for-profit society governed by an Indigenous Board of Directors, has provided an interactive map Links to an external site. where you can begin to understand the deep significance and histories of the places on we each live and work today.
While anyone, Indigenous or not, can make a territorial acknowledgement, only a member of the Indigenous community whose land you are on can welcome you to it.
