Land Acknowledgement
The Adapted Exercise Science Lab respectfully acknowledges that we reside on the historical and current traditional territories of the peoples of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, including land of the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 and 6. Calgary is situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. Members of the Adapted Exercise Science Lab are committed to learning about, reflecting on, and supporting Indigenous People’s rights for self-determination.
