    Land Acknowledgement

    To acknowledge the land on which we stand is to recognize a truth.

    We acknowledge and respect the se’mya’me (Semiahmoo First Nation) on whose traditional unceded territory the museum & archives stands and who have lived on this land for thousands of years. Museums have played a role in colonization, and it is important to recognize the harm of past practices and to strive to do better in the spirit of reconciliation.
