Karate BC, Working & Training on Unceded Territories

We are grateful to work and train on the unceded, ancestral, and traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and skwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nations. These Nations have cared for this region since time immemorial, and we honour their enduring connection to these lands.

At Karate BC, we strive to honour this rich heritage through:

  • Respectful practices – acknowledging and embracing Indigenous cultures and teachings.
  • Inclusive community – welcoming participants of all backgrounds to learn, grow, and train together.
  • Shared stewardship – working to preserve and protect the land that gives us the privilege to practice.

We thank the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish Nations for their ongoing welcome and stewardship. We are committed to deepening our understanding, respect, and gratitude every day.
