SEWG respectfully recognizes that we gather on Treaty 6 and Métis Region 4, the traditional territory of Indigenous peoples who have walked this land for centuries, including people of the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, and Nakota Sioux Nations, Inuit and Métis. As Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, we commit to work together to heal past and present injustices and create a more respectful future.
