People have lived on the land of present-day Alberta for generations - including the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Metis, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Tsuu T’ina Nation, Stoney Nakoda, and Blackfoot Nations which include the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. As you tour these lands, I invite you to reflect on the responsibilities that come with honouring each other, and the beautiful spaces we share.
