Land Acknowledgement
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, the Foothills Library Association honours and acknowledges Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, îethka Nakoda Nations: Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney, and Tsuut’ina Nation. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta Districts 5 and 6.
As library and information professionals, it is important that we honour, respect, and cherish the knowledge shared with our community by the Indigenous peoples we share this land with. Our work is grounded in the stewardship, preservation, and accessibility of knowledge, and with that comes a responsibility to recognize Indigenous knowledge systems and the inclusion of Indigenous voices in how information is collected, organized, and shared. We must strive to engage and hold space for the voices of those we have lost, and those who speak for them now. This means building meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities, supporting Indigenous data sovereignty, and uplifting Indigenous ways of knowing alongside Western knowledge systems. We are thankful for the opportunity to live, work, and learn on this land, and we thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to join our team on the lands of Treaty 7 territory.
