Land Acknowledgement

This toolkit was co-produced across two campuses, the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. We acknowledge that UBC is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking [in English: Halkomelem] Musqueam people, land on which we are uninvited guests and which has been a site of learning and exchange for time immemorial. We acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the University of Victoria stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.  The UVic Library, where many of the webinars in this toolkit were co-hosted, is situated on land that used to consist of camas fields where the local Indigenous communities would come, gather, trade, eat, and nourish one another intellectually and physically. We hope to honour the spirit of that nourishment in our co-production of this toolkit.
