"Our language carries our history, our knowledge and our connection to these lands. Seeing these names reflected across Simon Fraser University's Burnaby campus is an important recognition of the enduring presence of its Host Nations."
These words from Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam Indian Band speak to the significance of the four Host Nations gifting Indigenous place names for the campus and four more culturally significant locations on Burnaby Mountain - believed to be the most extensive collaboration with Host Nations - during a naming ceremony today (Sept 16).
