Congratulations to the Musqueam Indian Band on initialing its self-government agreement with Canada. This is an important and significant step towards self-determination.
We acknowledge and honour the Indigenous Peoples on whose traditional, ancestral and unceded lands we live and work. Thank you to the lək̓ʷəŋən-, SENĆOŦEN-, and Klallam-speaking peoples of the area that is now known as Victoria, BC; the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking people of the area that is now known as Vancouver, BC; and the Anishinaabe, Dakhód'iapi, and the Dëne Sųłıné-speaking people of the area now known as Shilo, Manitoba.
