Acknowledgements

Royal Roads University acknowledges that the campus is on the Lands of the Xwsepsum (Esquimalt) and Lekwungen (Songhees) ancestors and families. With gratitude, we live, work and learn here where the past, present, and future of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, faculty and staff come together.

We would like to thank all contributing authors for their generous sharing of their work, expertise, and wisdom. This work would not have been possible without the exemplary efforts of Ken Jeffery and Victoria Klassen Jeffery to bring the vision of this book to life. Devina Dander was an instrumental member of the project as it began and developed and her insights into the overall vision of this book were invaluable. Chloe Yan provided timely administrative support during the article submission process. Also, the editors would like to thank Mary Bernard for graciously agreeing to write the Foreword for the book. Finally, the development and production of this book would not have been possible without funding assistance provided through Royal Roads University’s Internal Research Grant program.
