Land Acknowledgement | askīyi-wimamīhcītotamowin
I acknowledge that this website was made in the unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. I extend my gratitude to the Snuneymuxw Mustimuhw (Snuneymuxw People) for their enduring stewardship and deep connection to their te’mexw (land), here in what is now known as Nanaimo. I am grateful to learn from those who carry kinship teachings rooted in the land, providing us a framework for relationality and reciprocity. I remain committed to ongoing learning, solidarity, and challenging the colonial default. I recognize the responsibilities and relationships embedded in the Douglas Treaty and affirm that we are all treaty people. ahâw
