These are the ancestral and traditional lands of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, and Métis peoples. I honour the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples whose relationships with these lands span countless generations and continue today.

I am grateful to the Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community members who have cared for these lands across generations, those who are with us today, those who have gone before us, and those yet to come.
