Before our name, there was this ground. Before our work, there was this water. We are guests of Treaty 5 Territory — neighbors to the Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the Cree, Dene, and Oji-Cree peoples, and the Red River Métis, whose homeland this remains. We are grateful. We are listening. We are still learning. We carry this knowing with gratitude, and we walk gently here.
