We would like to begin by acknowledging that we are on the traditional lands, referred to as Treaty No. 6 Territory and the homeland of Métis Region #4. This land is home to many diverse groups of Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Inuit, and Métis. We also acknowledge that the City of Edmonton and all the people here are beneficiaries of Treaty No. 6 Territory. which encompasses the traditional territories of numerous western Canadian First Nations as well as the Métis people who have called these lands home since time immemorial. NorQuest acknowledges the treaty, the land, and the territories of Indigenous peoples as a reminder of:

Our responsibility and obligations to the land and to Indigenous peoples,
Our accountability to addressing the ongoing impacts of colonization that are distinct to Indigenous peoples and communities,
To work together in remembering the spirit and intent of the Treaty towards right relations.
