We are the land and the land is us
We acknowledge and honour the Witsuwit’en yintah we are situated upon.
This unceeded territory is stewarded by Tsee K’al K’e Yex (the House on a Flat Rock) of the Laksilyu (Small Frog) Clan.
Our ancestors taught us that the Split Rock symbolizes a moment of choice in our lives.
When the path in front of you divides, you can go one way or the other - the path we choose will shape the future that follows”
