This place we know as Calgary is known by many other names. In the Blackfoot language, it is called Moh-kins-tis, the Iethka Nakoda First Nations refer to this place as Wicispa Oyade, the people of the Tsuut’ina Nation calls it Guts-ists, and the Metis call this area Otos-kwunee.
With respect and humility, we acknowledge that we are gathered on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, made up of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskapipiikani, and Kainai First Nations; the Iethka Nakoda Wicastabi First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. The Calgary area is also homeland to the historic Northwest Metis and to the Otipemisiwak Metis Government, Metis Nation Battle River Territory (Nose Hill Metis District 5 and Elbow Metis District 6).
We are thankful for the opportunity that this special place provides for us to engage in reconciliation and to make life better every day for all who gather, visit, or call this place home.
