Land Acknowledgement
Anchor Marketing is an agency that works in the nonprofit, charity and education sector. Our team is made up of settlers, immigrants, newcomers and descendants of colonizers.
We are located on the shared, traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the scəw̓aθən, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and other Hun’qumi’num speaking people. We hold deep gratitude towards the historical and ongoing stewardship of these sacred lands by the Peoples who are connected to her.
We acknowledge how the marketing industry perpetuates harmful stereotypes of Indigenous and other marginalized peoples. As a team we hold ourselves accountable to critically reflect on the role marketing has played and take the steps within our power to end the harm it has caused. We are all in different stages of our decolonization journey and we are committed to both the unlearning and learning needed and we invite correction. Our team welcomes opportunities to work in partnership with Indigenous creators, amplify Indigenous voices, and ensure fair representation of Indigenous People with all the clients that we work alongside.
