Land Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on Indigenous land in Treaty 6 territory;
land occupied, traveled, and cared for by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial to the present day.
This place – Amiskwacîwâskahikan, Cree for Beaver Hills House, Edmonton –
is on traditional lands, meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes of the Cree, Saulteaux,
Blackfoot, Dene, Nakota Sioux, and Métis – whose histories, languages, and cultures
continue to enrich our shared heritage.
