We would like to respectfully acknowledge that we are on the unceded, ancestral, traditional and occupied territories (tum-ula7xw) of the Sinixt Nation. The Sinixt were wrongfully declared extinct by the Canadian government in 1956 but have lived on these lands since time immemorial and continue to do so today. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves, to listen and support the Sinixt nation and to stop participating in systems that harm others.
