Land Acknowledgement:

We acknowledge that the land on which we live, work, and gather is the traditional and unceded territory of the Secwepemc peoples, who have cared for this land for millennia. We also recognize the territories of the Okanagan and Neskonlith Nations, and the many other Indigenous peoples whose histories and cultures are deeply connected to this land.

We honor their enduring presence, the wisdom they share, and their ongoing stewardship of the land, waters, and resources. We are grateful for the opportunity to live and work on this land and commit to respecting and supporting the cultural heritage of the Indigenous peoples of this region.
