Edmonton is known as amiskwacîwâskihikan in Cree (Beaver Hills House), and is located on Treaty 6 territory, the homeland of the Métis Nation. This is the traditional land and gathering place of many First Nations including the Néhiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Nakoda (Stoney), Dene, and Anishinaabe (Ojibway/Saulteaux), and home to of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel.
Indigenous stories matter. We encourage readers to join with us in learning, decolonizing, and truth-telling in the best ways we know how, as we journey the road to reconciliation together.
