South East Alberta Watershed Alliance
We work with partners across southeast Alberta to share information about rivers, wetlands, prairie lakes and reservoirs. We design and carry out applied research, help answer local water questions, support stewardship activities, and contribute our findings to broader planning work.
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.
We’re currently rebuilding our website to better reflect who we are and how we work.
The new site will be clearer, faster, and designed to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
Thanks for your patience while we put the finishing touches in place.
Behind the scenes, we’re refining our content, improving performance, and creating a more intentional experience from the ground up.
