Indigenous Landscape + Architecture Network of Design Students – iLANDS
ILANDS is based in Vancouver. Many of us are living as guests on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and Sel̓íl̓witulh Nations. SALA is located on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm territory.
Indigenous students are often displaced from our home communities to study Architecture, and we represent different unique Indigenous Nations around Turtle Island.
