We operate in Amiskwaciy-wâskahikan on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, and Inuit. We acknowledge the complex histories of settler colonialism and strive to honour Indigenous relationships with this land, centring truth and reconciliation in all our work.
