Onibana Taiko

          鬼花太鼓　

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), Kwantlen, Katzie, SEMYOME (Semiahmoo) peoples or Nations. This acknowledgement is a reminder of the discriminatory, racist, and colonial practices that have had a lasting legacy, and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples and communities today. As settlers of Japanese ancestry, we would like to acknowledge our participation in these practices and reckon with the historical colonial actions of our families.  We recognize our present-day privilege as settlers in unceded Coast Salish territories and will strive to live in right relationship with the Coast Salish peoples.
