Land Acknowledgements

We want people to know that Mulgrave is, has always been, and will always be on the traditional,nd ancestral lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation.
We are saying this not just so people hear it, but so they really learn about whose land we are on and understand why that matters.
This land is important because our everyday lives happen here. It’s where we learn, play, and build community. And it’s important to remember that this land was never just “ours.”
The Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation has lived here since time immemorial, longer than we can fully understand. For them, this place was more than just a home. It was a safe and sacred place where they survived, practiced traditions, shared teachings, and passed down stories.
It’s now up to us to recognize the histories of this land and the people who were here first, so that we can help create a better future.

We want to acknowledge that we are on the traditional and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw . This land has a rich history, cared for by the Squamish peoples for generations, and we are grateful to be here.
In many cultures, including those of Indigenous peoples, shared community responsibility is important and vital. At Mulgrave, we have a rich and diverse community, and each of us plays an important role.
We invite you to take a moment to think about how we can honour and consider the traditions of the Squamish peoples and other Indigenous communities. Reflect on the significance of community - here at Mulgrave, in our personal spaces, and our greater world.

We'd like to acknowledge that we learn, live, play, and work on the unceded traditional territory of the Squamish Nation. We will respect, cherish, and protect the land that was stolen from the Squamish People, for generations to come.
