Mod. 2/Post 1 SORCA

SORCA is the Squamish Off Road Cycling Association and they build and maintain biking trails throughout the Squamish area.  As I move forward with looking at how to authentically indigenize education, I thought that this association has done a great job with the territory recognition of  Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw.  This goes so far above the usual land recognition seen; I am especially impressed with their Squamish Nation Youth Mountain Bike Program.

As we continue to use the traditional lands of Indigenous Nations around us, I think that moving away from just territorial recognition to  including historical education and actual inclusion of the Nation in the land usage will be a fundamental step in reconciliation.
