The Western Groundfish Conference acknowledges historical lands and peoples.<\/strong><\/p>

The Western Groundfish Conference acknowledges historical lands and peoples. We would like to recognize that we will be meeting on Ling\u00edt Aan\u00ed, the unceded territory of the \u00c1ak\u2019w Kw\u00e1an people. We acknowledge that Ling\u00edt Peoples have been stewards of Southeast Alaska from time immemorial and their language, culture, and livelihoods were unjustly stripped from them by colonialism. We also acknowledge the T\u2019aa\u1e35u Kw\u00e1an people, who immigrated to Juneau from what is now Canada during the Gold Rush era and were also unjustly persecuted. We strongly encourage all conference participants to engage with the Indigenous peoples who have historically and continue to steward the lands and resources upon which they rely. Visit native-land.ca<\/a> to learn more about the Native lands on which you reside.<\/p>

The Western Groundfish School of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.<\/strong><\/p>

Much like a school of fishes, the Western Groundfish Conference and its members are committed to the equity and inclusion of all persons. We harbor a safe shoal for everyone to freely express how they identify regarding gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or disability by adopting a zero-tolerance policy on harassment and discrimination. We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with inclusive language which can be viewed at Inclusive Language\u00a0 Guidelines (apa.org)<\/a>. WGC is committed to supporting underrepresented groups by helping to fund\u00a0travel expenses, providing facilities accommodations, and offering alternative food options. This conference will be held in the Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall. The Hall\u2019s name honors an Indigenous\u00a0woman of distinction, Elizabeth Peratrovich – Wikipedia<\/a>. As we continue to evolve and grow as people\u00a0and scientists, we welcome suggestions for how we may better increase diversity, equity, and inclusion among WGC participants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
