On behalf of Kardel we acknowledge and thank the 50 First Nations of Vancouver Island that are in distinct tribal regions, Coast Salish, Nuuchah and Kwakwakw communities – past, present, and future – for their stewardship, care, and leadership on these beautiful lands.

Kardel acknowledges that we are guests on these lands whose traditional territory we live, learn, play and work. We are grateful for the traditional knowledge keepers and Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us and the youth that continue to inspire us. 

We respectfully recognize the land and the benefits it provides for all of us, as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside. We will strive to continue to educate ourselves to right the wrongs and address racism on these lands. 

We raise our hands in gratitude
