This practice and the home in which I live is located on, and adjacent to, lands that encompass the hereditary territories of the Blackfoot, the Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuut'ina nations. I acknowledge that I am hosted in this ancient place by these people and by the Métis Nation (Region 3). We breathe the air and drink the water that is theirs; I honour and value the land and the beings that are part of their ancestral world. I pledge to do my work in a way that is respectful of their traditions.
