ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Ghost Lake Village respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 7 territory, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika Nations—as well as the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Stoney Nakoda Nations. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We honor the land as an act of reconciliation and express our gratitude to the Indigenous peoples on whose land we reside.
