land acknowledgement

In the spirit of respect and reciprocity, I recognize the sacred land of the Indigenous Peoples who call this home.

I acknowledge that I live and work on Treaty 6, 7, and 8 Territory, also home to the Metis Settlements and the 6 Regions of the Metis Nation of Alberta, within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. I recognize the relationship and the responsibility that we have to the land that we reside on and I honour the spiritual connection to this place. I acknowledge the First Nations and Metis who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations.

I express gratitude to the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and who have gone before us. I make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation.
