The Campbell River Shoebox Project occupies the ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands of the K'ómoks First Nations, Homalco First Nations, We Wai Kai First Nations, We Wai Kum First Nations. In particular, our Chapter resides on land ceded in the Laich-kwil-tach Treaty Society. We recognize and support the Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and those who were forcibly removed from their homelands. In offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history and experiences.
