In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge that I live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 Nations. These are the Ancestral Lands of the three Bands of the Stoney Nakoda Nation: Chiniki, Wesley, and Bearspaw; the Blackfoot Confederacy: Siksika, North and South Piikani Nations and the Kainai Tribe; the Tsuut'ina Nation of the Dene people; as well as the Metis Nation of Alberta, region 3.

I am nourished by the beauty and bounty of this land. My hope is that as we move into gratitude for what we have, we will collapse the collective myth around scarcity and stop exploiting peoples and places.
