In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional Treaty 7 Territory. This land is home to the Blackfoot Confederacy Nations of Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Îethka Stoney Nakoda Nation, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney Bands. I also recognize this land as part of the historical Northwest Métis homeland, and home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
I come from a place of support and affirmation for the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
