11-04-2024author

Nation Talk recently shared the announcement of the Tŝilhqotˊin National Government's launch of the International Youth Ambassador Program, funded by University Canada West and Fulbright, to train Tŝilhqotˊin youth in international Indigenous human rights advocacy. Six Indigenous youth are currently attending the UNPFII program in New York City to advocate for self-determination and apply their cultural teachings for global Indigenous rights.

We acknowledge that the territories on which UCW and its campuses are situated are the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Sel̓íl̓witulh/səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank them for having cared for this land since time immemorial, honour their graciousness to the students who seek knowledge here, and iterate our dedication to valuing the ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.
