Land Acknowledgment

First a note for people reading with a screen reader or text-to-speech technology: the land acknowledgement text you are about to hear uses two words from two Indigenous languages. Unfortunately, the words may come across as unintelligible because the fonts and keyboards used to author the languages have not been integrated into all assistive technologies and therefore can't yet be accurately interpreted and voiced by your technology.

People who read by sight will see the Indigenous spelling of the words, followed by an Anglicized phonetic spelling of those words, which may also be unintelligible to you. We have yet to develop conventions to offer you a culturally educative reading/voicing of words written in Indigenous languages. I see you and I'm sorry you have to wait for society to attend to, and agree on, ways to include you in linguistic decolonizing practices. For now, I've put buttons with sound clips of the Indigenous words at the end of the acknowledgement. Play the sound clips to hear the words spoken by language speakers.

I live, work and imagine on lands that have historically been stewarded by the Lək̓ʷəŋən (pronounced L-kwun-en) speaking peoples, now known as Victoria, BC. I am drawn to the shores stewarded by the W̱SÁNEĆ (pronounced Wh-say-nech) peoples. I am an uninvited settler. These lands and all the beings here inform my experiences of learning, sharing knowledge and being in community with others.
