Territorial Acknowledgment
The Alberta Sightseer Co knows we weren't the first to be here...
The Euro Canadian province of Alberta is located within the Northern Prairies of Turtle Island (now known as North America). For thousands of years this has been home and gathering place to many peoples including, but not limited to, the Dené, Nakoda (Stoney & Sioux), Nehiyawak (Cree), Niistitapi (Blackfoot), Otipemisiwak (Métis), Anishinaabe and many more who have been erased by time. Treaties 6, 7 and 8, as well as Métis Nation of Alberta Regions 1-6 and 8 land-based Métis Settlements, are represented within Alberta's borders. By nature of these living national and provincial legislative agreements, we are all partners in ethnogeographic governance, including health care and its delivery. Indigenous communities have the right to self-determination in their health and health care provision, as supported by: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, The Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls Report’s Calls to Justice.
