We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qi̓  cə̓  y̓ (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), scə̓  waθən (Tsawwassen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and kwikwəƛ̓ə̓  m (Kwikwetlem); and with the lands of the qw̓  ɑ:nƛ̓ə̓  n̓ (Kwantlen First Nation), which gifted its name to this university.
