The current official CapU land acknowledgement created in partnership with Elders and Capilano University's Indigenous Student Services is,
Capilano University is named after Chief Joe Capilano (1854–1910), an important leader of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation of the Coast Salish Peoples. We respectfully acknowledge that our campuses are located on the unceded territories of the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), shíshálh (Sechelt), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and xʷməθkʷəỷəm (Musqueam) Nations.
The name qiyəplenəxʷ was ceremonially passed to Sa7plek (Sahp-luk), Chief Joe Capilano before he visited England in 1906 to lay grievances before King Edward VII . . . This name had a higher status, and he couldn’t just go to England and talk to people without a high-status name, without a name with authority" (The Capilano review).
