Land Acknowledgement

The UBC-V Public Humanities Hub is located on the traditional, ancestral, unceded, and occupied territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. The land it is situated on has always been a place of learning for the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next on this site. The legacy of settler colonialism continues to be violently perpetuated in Vancouver, and our ability to do this work is directly enabled by the continued oppression and expulsion of Indigenous peoples. Our intention with this toolkit is to bring praxis to theory (and acknowledgement) in the ongoing work of decolonization, reconciliation, and repair.
