We acknowledge that in the land colonially known as Saskatchewan we create and educate on Treaty Territory, which the peoples of the Nêhiyawak, Nêhithawak, Nêhinawak, Anihšināpēk, Dene, Dakota, Lakota and Nakota nations have cared for over generations. This land is also the traditional homeland of the Métis people. We aim to create together with all Indigenous people in the spirit with which the Treaties were written. We extend this same commitment to all Indigenous peoples throughout Canada.
