Land Acknowledgement
We want to acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (compromising the Siksiká, Piikáni, and Káínaa First Nations), as well as the Tsúùt'ínà First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3. We would also like to note that the Olympic Oval is situated on land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and that the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is Mohkínstsis, which we now call the City of Calgary.
