President Ono’s inaugural podcast to tell UBC’s story is on the topic of Indigeneity and UBC.
Some of the interesting highlights are:
“We are fortunate to be on this land. Uh, we owe it to the Musqueam people, uh the Musqueam people have been wonderful uh working with us and so we also as an institution need to give back to the Musqueam.” — President Ono
“We are all Indigenous people from somewhere.” — Eduardo Jovel
“How can we as a university recognize different types of of knowledge product?” — Jennifer Gardy
It was interesting that originally the land acknowledgement in the episode description was as follows:
“We’d like to acknowledge that the UBC campus sits on the traditional, ancestral, and unseeded [sic] territory of the Musqueam people.” Unseeded was corrected on 20 September 2018, but it is perhaps indicative that unceded is a term that few people understand.
