Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that our office is located in Edmonton, amiskwacîwâskahikan, on Treaty 6 Territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and traveling route for many Indigenous people whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries. As a provincial organization, we acknowledge this is the Homeland of the Métis and also includes Treaty 4, 7, 8 and 10 Territory. We also honour Mother Earth and give thanks to the animals and all life forms who made sacrifices so that we humans could build homes, roads and communities on this land.
