Credits: Kimit Sekhon and Tony Gosling discuss indigenous land rights, homelessness, disappearing languages and other matters connecting Bristol, UK and Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver sits on the unceded lands of the Squamish, Musqeum, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. These lands have never been formally given to the Crown in treaty as others have mentioned. The City of Vancouver made a push in 2014 for this to be addressed at public events.
