About the Author: Brian Yanish
As we gather from across the province, AEAAC would like to acknowledge that we are all on traditional territories in Alberta of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries. We recognize and affirm the Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Canada. We acknowledge all First Nations, Metis and Inuit across Turtle Island as the keepers of these lands and that many come to live, work and volunteer in Alberta, enriching our communities.
