Indigenization Statement
We acknowledge that we live and work in Treaty 7, the traditional territory of the Niitsitapi, and in M茅tis Region 3.
We also acknowledge the role that geographical disciplines and their practitioners have played and continue to play in the dispossession and genocide of Indigenous peoples, here and around the world. With this awareness, we strive to increase our understanding and inclusion of Indigenous ways of knowing and their contributions in our departmental practices. Our department is committed to an equitable, diverse and inclusive future.
