+        We acknowledge that the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver (Point Grey) campus — where our conference will be held — is located on the **traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory** of the **xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)** people.
+
+        This recognition is not only a sign of respect, but also an act of awareness and ongoing commitment to the Indigenous peoples whose relationship with this land continues to this day.
+
+        To learn more about UBC’s connection to the land and its relationship with the Musqueam Nation, we encourage you to explore the following resources:

+        - [Time and Place at UBC](https://timeandplace.ubc.ca)
+
+        > “Unceded” means that this land was never surrendered, relinquished, or handed over in any treaty or agreement.
