台灣民謠音樂人阿達 (A-Tat) 非常熱衷於保存家鄉的本土語言。在接受 Pancouver 專訪時，這位 「農村武裝青年」樂團的主唱兼吉他手指出，台灣的閩南語、客家語與原住民族語在不同時期都曾被禁止使用，包括 1895 年至 1945 年的日治時期。二戰結束後，國民黨政權於戒嚴時期 (1949–1987) 強制推行國語（華語）政策，禁止政府機關與公共教育部門使用台灣閩南語和客家語等母語。
The Society of We Are Canadians Too created Pancouver to foster greater appreciation for underrepresented artistic communities. A rising tide of understanding lifts all of us.

We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). With this acknowledgement, we thank the Indigenous peoples who still live on and care for this land.
