The Chinook are the traditional people of this land. Land acknowledgements are a way for people to bring awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights into everyday life, often at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, and educational guides. They are an explicit yet limited way to recognize the history of colonialism and First Nations and the need for change in settler-colonial societies. The Native Lands map is for educational purposes, is imperfect, and does not represent or intend to represent official or legal boundaries of any Indigenous nations; definitive boundaries should be sought from the nation itself.
