We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous people. \n\n\n\nWhy do we recognize the land? \n\nTo recognize the land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on and a way of honoring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial. It is important to understand the long-standing history that has brought you to reside on the land and to seek to understand your place within that history. Land acknowledgments do not exist in a past tense or historical context: colonialism is a current ongoing process\, and we need to build the mindfulness of our present participation. It is also worth noting that acknowledging the land is Indigenous protocol.\n\nhttp://www.lspirg.org/knowtheland
