JENNIFER MAGEL, Research Assistant

We respectfully acknowledge that the learning, discussions, and activities of this project are occurring on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), sc̓əwaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), and SEMYOME (Semiahmoo) Nations.

The coastal area our research engages has always been a place of learning for the numerous Coast Salish Peoples, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next in this region. We are grateful for their stewardship and teachings, and are attempting to work in reciprocal relationships with the lands, waters and peoples of this territory in order to put forth just and equitable climate adaptation actions.
