Land Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge that we areĀ  gatheredĀ 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 ā€“ AmiskwacĆ®wĆ¢skahikan, Cree for Beaver Hills House, Edmonton ā€“

is on traditional lands, meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes of the Cree, Saulteaux,

Blackfoot, Dene, Nakota Sioux, and MĆ©tis – whose histories, languages, and cultures

continue to enrich our shared heritage.
