We acknowledge that the practice of Maple Ridge RMT Jennifer Slauenwhite operates on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Katzie (q̓ic̓əy) "Land of Moss" and Kwantlen (qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓) “Tireless Runner” First Nations.

As part of the Coast Salish peoples, these Nations have been stewards of the land, historically known in Halkomelem (hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓) “Downriver Halkomelemas” Z’wa? acstan “Place Where The Golden Eagles Are”, since time immemorial.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to gather, work, and learn on this land.
