​I acknowledge that I live, work, and tell stories on the traditional territories of the Treaty 7 Nations: The Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Piikani, Kainai), the Îethka Nakoda Nations (Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney), and the Tsuut’ina Nation. This land is also home to the Métis Nation, Region 3.
