We acknowledge that Vessel is being developed within the traditional territories of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nations, including the Tla-o-qui-aht, Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ, Ahousaht, Hesquiaht and neighbouring Nations whose stewardship of these lands and waters extends back since time immemorial. With honour and gratitude, we recognize their ongoing relationship to place, teaching and protection, and we hold a responsibility to engage with respect, reciprocity and care as this project continues to take shape.
