Land Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge that the Ladysmith Pride Society gathers and celebrates on the traditional territory of the Stz'uminus First Nation. We recognize and honor the enduring presence of the Stz'uminus people on these lands for countless generations.
We express our gratitude for the Stz'uminus Nation's stewardship of this land and its resources, which have sustained their community and culture. We also acknowledge the profound connection between the Stz'uminus people and the land, waters, and all living beings that inhabit this territory.
As we come together to promote diversity, inclusion, and equality, we commit to learning from the Stz'uminus people and supporting their efforts to preserve their heritage and protect the land. We are inspired by their resilience and wisdom, and we stand in solidarity with their ongoing journey toward self-determination.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we strive to build respectful and meaningful relationships with the Stz'uminus First Nation and all Indigenous communities. May we move forward together on a path of understanding, collaboration, and mutual respect.
