Kîkinaw Miyonâkwan Kitâskinâw: Our home on this beautiful land
The Beaver Hills Biosphere is located within Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous Nations, including the Plains Cree, Métis, Blackfoot, Saulteaux, Tsuut’ina and Nakoda Sioux peoples, who have deep relationships with this land, and held reciprocal relationships with the Beaver Hills area from time immemorial. The Beaver Hills were home to the Beaver Hills Stragglers, a small subsection of the larger autonomous group named The Edmonton Stragglers. We honour all Indigenous peoples and histories of this place as we come to know them. These lands are now home to Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples from many Nations. We continue to learn from our relationships with these Nations by living out our responsibilities to them and enriching our vibrant communities together.
