Land Acknowledgement

     

     Today, as many diverse peoples from near and far share these lands, we pay our respects to the Indigenous ancestors of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda, and Métis/Michif Nation, who welcomed settlers to this land in the spirit of sharing. We acknowledge that promises were broken to the Indigenous people of Canada. We recognize the past and present harms and injustices as we dedicate our efforts to work together in a spirit of collaboration and reconciliation to restore and respect Mother Earth for future generations. We are grateful to the people before us who have cared for the land, water, air, wildlife and plants in these territories as we learn to care better for and more deeply appreciate the beauty around us and our relationships with natural and human communities.
