Land Acknowledgement

Prairie Métis and settler perspectives and knowledge. We are guests living and working on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Vancouver area, BC]; the Lekwungen-speaking Songhees and Esquimalt nations (Victoria, BC); Amiskwaciy Waskahikan in Treaty 6 territory (Edmonton, Alberta); and the traditional land of the Three Fires Confederacy, the Odawa, Potawatomi, and Ojibwe (southern Ontario). The Three Fires Confederacy shares this land with its neighbours, the Lunaapeew of the Eelunaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware) Nation and the unceded territory of the Bkejwanong (Walpole Island) First Nation.
