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 and Nakoda Sioux peoples, who have deep relationships with this land, and are the original stewards of the Beaver Hills area from time immemorial. 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.
