ACT by Vidal is grateful to live, work, and play on the ancestral lands and traditional territories of the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, Qayqayt and Tsawwassen First Nation (colonially known as Surrey). We also acknowledge that the historical caretakers of this land were displaced, as their lands were stolen and made into private property through a similar logic of colonialization that enslaved some of Shelley Vidal's ancestors.
