Land Acknowledgement

We are gathered here on Amiskwaciwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) or Beaver Hills House, traditional Treaty 6 territory of First Nations and the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respectfully acknowledge and thank the diverse indigenous people whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this land for centuries, including the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota, Blackfoot, as well as the Metis and Inuit. This land is and has been a welcoming place for all people who come to Edmonton and call it home. It is a place built for community, trade, friendship, and shared understanding. Together we call upon all of our collective honoured traditions and ancestors to help us work together in the spirit of community and understanding, today and onwards.
