Acknowledgement
UBC-DIBS is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We gratefully acknowledge these peoples, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next in this area. As behavioural scientists, we also know that words are not enough. We are exploring how Behavioural Insights and Indigenous ways of knowing and being can be mutually supporting. We are also working to add relevant resources to the wiki, such as podcast episodes featuring Indigenous voices and exploring how Behavioural Insights can contribute to Reconciliation.
