The UBC Vancouver and Okanagan campuses are located, respectively, on the traditional territories of the Musqueam and Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples. UBC has recognized its special relationships with these communities through Memorandum of Affiliation/Understanding. These memoranda, however, are just the record and formal acknowledgement of relationships that UBC seeks to have on an ongoing and daily basis with these partners and other Indigenous communities and organizations.
