Acknowledgement
Land Acknowledgement
SEAWA acknowledges that we are located in Southern Alberta along the South Saskatchewan River, on the traditional territories of many Indigenous Nations. These include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut'ina Nation, the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations), as well as the Cree (Nehiyaw), Saulteaux (Nahkawininiwak), and the Dakota, Nakota, and Lakota peoples.
We are deeply grateful to the traditional caretakers of this land and water, and we honour the relationships Indigenous peoples have with the land and waterways of Southern Alberta.
