TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We at the Centre of the Universe acknowledge that we live, work, play and learn on the traditional territory of the SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples, the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation, who were given the responsibility to care for this land and all life by XÁLS (Creator). We recognize the very special relationship to W̱SÁSENEĆ (Little Saanich Mountain) that the W̱SÁNEĆ have to it. They have been ȾEX̱NÁLEṈ (Stewards) from time immemorial.
