Black Soil

We honor the Indigenous peoples who have cared for the lands of Alberta since time immemorial, including those from Treaties 6, 7, and 8, and the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We acknowledge the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have lived here for generations, expressing gratitude to the Knowledge Keepers and Elders, both present and past. This acknowledgment is a gesture of reconciliation and respect for their territory.
