Land Acknowledgement
At Lakeview Aquatic Consultants (Okotoks, Alberta) we acknowledge the original stewards of the land where we live and work - called Treaty 7 Territory - which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy First Nations the Kainai, Siksika and Piikani. The Stoney Nakoda First Nations, which includes the Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney, the Dene First Nation of Tsuut’ina and the Metis Nation of Alberta. We honour and respect this space, the water, the animals, and all the beings who have a spirit and have been here long before us.
In our work with different clients located across Canada, we acknowledge that we work, meet and travel on the traditional territories of many different Indigenous Peoples who have cared for this land since time immemorial. These lands are either subject to First Nations self-government under modern treaty, unceded and un-surrendered territories, or traditional territories from which First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples have been displaced.
