We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather is situated on Treaty 6 lands. We recognize all Indigenous People who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As Indigenous People have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all. These are the territories of the nêhiyawak – (nay-hi-yuh-wuk (Cree)); Anihšināpēk – (uh-nish-i-naa-payk (Saulteaux)); Stoney, Nakota, Dakota, and the homeland of the Metis/Michif Nation. Today, these lands continue to be shared Territory and is occupied by many diverse peoples from near and far. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility, and a relationship.
