Land Acknowledgement

The Tao Fawu Monastery and Kulshan College of Intuitive Medicine want to acknowledge the  Nuxwsa’7aq (Nooksack) nation, who have lived and nurtured these lands where our community resides. We live, work and learn within the original homelands of the Coast Salish peoples. Coast Salish languages name many local places, including Sem:àth (Sumas) and Kulshan College of Intuitive Medicine (Kwelshan). In recognizing these tribal communities, we honor and seek to raise up and center their legacy, their lives, their descendants, and their living culture. As a part of the Kulshan College Tradition, we have run free clinics for tribal members at a number of reservations and reserves as a way to give back to and build bridges with our Indigenous Relations. We are committed to furthering this work, as well as ongoing land restoration and stewardship projects, so long as we occupy this land.
