Dr. Emilie Salomons acknowledges that the land on which she lives and works rests on the traditional, stolen territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the Qayqayt, Səlil̓wətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Kwikwetlem Nations.
She is deeply grateful to live on their land and is committed to learning from and supporting these and other Indigenous communities. Part of that commitment includes providing free care for the doulas and clients of the Ekw'í7tl Doula Collective.
