Hua Foundation is a youth empowerment non-profit working on racial equity and civic engagement issues on unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh territory known as Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Our work lives at the intersection of cultural heritage and social change. We are based in Vancouver’s Chinatown and have been working for years alongside youth and community members from the East Asian diaspora.
We are working, living, and relying on ancestral, traditional, unceded and occupied Indigenous territories, in particular, the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Tsəl̓ílwətaʔɬ /Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and Skwxwú7mesh Snichim speaking Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations. This land was never surrendered, relinquished, or handed over by these nations to Canada or British Columbia through a treaty or other means. It is sovereign and unsurrendered.
