We acknowledge, respect and honour that we are situated on Treaty 6 Territory, and that this is an ongoing covenant since 1876 involving all residents of this region and of which we strive to be responsible, compassionate and proud members. To this end, we extend a humble welcome and offer of friendship to all Indigenous and Métis peoples, not only of this region, but of earth, as well as to all settler people who fall under the auspices of Treaty 6. We acknowledge Indigenous title within this territory and are committed to the complete realisation of the spirit of Treaty 6.
We believe in the tradition of the space on which Edmonton is situated being a place of welcome, abundance and community for the Indigenous Peoples of Western Canada since before non-Indigenous settlers arrived, and are strongly committed to carrying on this ancient tradition both within our space and the community at large. To this end, we feel that only through a complete and full manifestation of the spirit of Treaty 6 can our community be made to be a harmonious family which welcomes all people, regardless of creed, race, tradition, sexuality, origin or age. The spirit of Treaty 6 is a covenant of kinship and we are proud to play our part in creating a larger human family, starting in this space, and then growing into our community, nation and planet. As Treaty people, we feel that the spirit of Treaty 6 as one of kinship can play a transformative role not only within this territory but also within the human community internationally. Please join us on this journey. Welcome.
