I acknowledge that I offer services, benefit from and flourish on the unceded and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Watuth), and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples. My role as an uninvited settler is to understand the history and lasting effects of colonization, cultural assimilation, and systemic discrimination that have occurred to the people of these lands. I stand in solidarity for their right to self-determination and reconciliation.
