We acknowledge that the land on which we explore, Kananaskis, lies is the traditional territory of the Treaty 7 Nations of The Tsuut’ina Nation, the Stoney Nakoda Nation, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney and Wesley First Nations, and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Kainai-Blood Tribe, Siksika, Peigan-Piikani and Aamskapi Pikun.

We commit to the furthering of truth and reconciliation and honour and celebrate those who have lived, and continue to live, on this land.
