We would like to acknowledge that IntegralOrg is based out of Moh’kinsstis, which is the Blackfoot name for “elbow.” This refers to the confluence of Elbow and Bow Rivers that run through Treaty 7 territory. Moh’kinsstis is situated in the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy which includes the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai, as well as the Stoney Nakoda First Nations consisting of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Métis Nation of Alberta, District 5: Calgary Nose Hill and District 6: Calgary Elbow.
At IntegralOrg, our team recognizes the existing tension between the legal and governance structures that we work within and efforts towards truth and reconciliation. We accept our responsibility to work towards reconciling this tension. We all have a connection and responsibility to the lands that host our lives, our communities, and our work.
