HISTORICAL CONTEXT
"Spanning generations, acknowledgement of the land is a traditional custom of Indigenous people when welcoming outsiders onto their land and into their homes."

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The land acknowledgement as a practice then is different than the original intent, however, as an outsider, I acknowledge that I live, study and work on the unceded lands of the Sinixt (Lakes), Syilx (Okanagan), Ktunaxa, and Secwepemc (Shuswap) peoples. I would also like to acknowledge the Métis peoples and all indigenous beings who call this place home.
