Indigenous Peoples in Vancouver

The City of Vancouver is located on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) , Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh (Squamish) , and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples, who have lived on these lands since time immemorial.

As a City of Reconciliation, the City of Vancouver has committed to “form a sustained relationship of mutual respect and understanding with local First Nations and the urban Indigenous community.” This is an ongoing and evolving commitment, and one that is essential to our path forward.
