Territorial Acknowledgement

Publisher Acknowledgement

This book was published by Kwantlen Polytechnic University, whose campuses are located on the unceded traditional and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qic̓əy (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə̓waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), and the lands of the qw̓ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓n̓ (Kwantlen) First Nation, which gifted its name to this university. Resources from the lands in their territories were used in the publication of this book.

We share the information, knowledge, research results, etc. under this open license as a way of practicing reciprocity: giving back a portion of what we took in a way that we hope will have a positive impact on Indigenous students, KPU, and the wider Indigenous and non-Indigenous community. As part of our commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action [PDF], we recognize our responsibility to address and reduce ongoing systemic colonialism, oppression, and racism that Indigenous Peoples continue to experience.
