We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Sinixt, Syilx, and K’tunaxa peoples. These homelands have been cared for by these Nations since time immemorial and continue to be home to Indigenous peoples today.

We recognize the enduring presence, knowledge, and cultural practices of these Nations and commit to working in solidarity toward truth, reconciliation, and respectful relationship-building with Indigenous communities across this region.
