As a provincial organization, we acknowledge that we are on traditional territory, gathering grounds, meeting place, and traveling route of the Treaty 6 First Nations, the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Dene, and Nakota Nations; Treaty 7 First Nations, the Blackfoot Confederacy of the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, the Îyârhe Nakoda Nation of the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney Nations, and the Tsuut’ina Nation; Treaty 8 First Nations of the Cree, Dene Tha, Dane-zaa and Denesuline Nations and the traditional homeland of the Métis Nation. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit of the past footsteps who have shaped this land and those of the present and future who will continue to shape it for centuries to come.

CASS is committed to restoring and honoring the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, and we strongly believe that truth must be acknowledged to move forward to reconciliation. Engaging in respectful, responsible and reciprocal relationships with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities is the path forward to reconciliation. Together we call upon our collective communities to build a stronger understanding and relationship of all the people who dwell on this land we call home.
