Land Acknowledgement
I humbly acknowledge that I live, learn, and serve on the unceded ancestral territory of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, within Secwépemcúl’ecw, the land of the Secwépemc people.
As a resident and newcomer, I recognize that I am a guest on this land. With deep respect, I thank the Secwépemc people for their ongoing stewardship, wisdom, and generosity in sharing this land with those who come here to grow, contribute, and belong.
May the languages we teach and the communities we build always honour the spirit of welcome and resilience rooted in this land.
