First Nations, Metis & Inuit Statement
At Taiga, we recognize that the places where we live and work are not just landscapes – they are homelands. Our projects take shape on the traditional territories of Indigenous Nations across Western Canada and beyond, and we carry that responsibility with respect.
In Alberta
Our work intersects with Treaty 7 lands, home to the Blackfoot Confederacy — the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai Nations — as well as the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations of Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley. We also acknowledge the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, whose people have longstanding ties to these lands.
In British Columbia
We recognize the unceded territories of the Coast Salish, Nlaka’pamux, Secwépemc, Ktunaxa, and Syilx Peoples, whose stewardship of their lands continues today.
In Saskatchewan
We work within the homelands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Métis Peoples, guided by the commitments made under Treaties 4, 6, 8, and 10.
We also honour the Red River Métis, represented by the Manitoba Métis Federation, whose homeland extends across the Prairie Provinces, into the Northwest Territories, and south across parts of the United States.
Across Turtle Island, we acknowledge the enduring relationships Indigenous peoples hold with their Territories and the realities of ongoing colonization.
At Taiga, this acknowledgment is not ceremonial — it is a commitment. We are dedicated to listening, learning, and working alongside First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities to advance sovereignty, self-determination, and reconciliation through the work we do.
