McMan Edmonton North recognizes that acknowledging the land is more than a statement—it is a commitment to honouring Indigenous rights, histories, and ongoing relationships with these lands.

 

As an organization working across central and northern Alberta, we respectfully acknowledge that we operate on the traditional territories of the First Nations signatories of Treaty 6 and Treaty 8, as well as the Métis, Inuit, and urban Indigenous communities who have long called these lands home. The rivers, mountains, and plains of these territories hold deep cultural and spiritual significance and have been stewarded by the Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Stoney, Beaver (Dunne-za), Chipewyan, and Métis peoples since time immemorial.

 

We recognize the enduring connection these Nations have to the land, and we affirm our ongoing responsibility to truth, reconciliation, and justice. We are committed to learning from and working in partnership with Indigenous peoples, including honouring Two-Spirited individuals whose identities predate colonization. May this acknowledgement
