With Respect

We acknowledge that we live, produce and perform as settlers on the land that is the traditional and unsurrendered territory of the Sinixt People, both north and south of our colonial border. 

Also acknowledging the Ktunaxa and Syilx Nations have relations and connections to this land. 

We recognize that this acknowledgment is a small part of the ongoing work to foster a true reconciliation which is disruptive of the legacies of colonialism.
