Gabriel George Senior from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation opens the Vancouver AI May 2026 meetup with more than a land acknowledgement: a living ceremony, stories of the Burrard Inlet waterways, and the Hopi prophecy that foresaw a web covering the earth.
29 months in a row. 300 members strong. This is how Vancouver AI starts every meetup: grounded in place, in community, and in the land we're building on.
Featuring:
• Kris's opening — 29 months running, anti-data center protest recap
• Gabriel George Senior (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) — Indigenous welcome, prayer, and the prophecy of the web
• Musqueam, Squamish & Tsleil-Waututh nations and the history of Burrard Inlet
