Territorial & Values Acknowledgement:
MSAA, operating in the Sea to Sky shares and upholds many of the important values passed on from the Elders of the First Nations to the new generation. We do not have their infinite wisdom, something that can only be earned from being one with the land and then passed on over many generations. We are grateful for their important lessons and wisdom and continue to learn. We are grateful to be on the shared, unceded territory of the Lil’wat People, known in their language as L̓il̓wat7úl, and the Squamish People, known in their language as Sḵwx̱wú7mesh. We respect and commit to a deep consideration of their history, culture, stewardship and voice.
