The Tipi of Hope Foundation (Tipi of Hope) operates across Canada, in what is also known as Turtle Island. We are a remote office with our Board of Directors currently in the provinces known as Alberta and Nova Scotia. Accordingly, we have the following Acknowledgment Statements:

We wish to acknowledge that the land on which some of us gather is the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, including Chiniki, Bearpaw, and Wesley First Nations. The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Regions 5 and 6.

We honour and acknowledge the land where we are a guest. We are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. The “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” covers this territory, which the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) titles and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

The Tipi of Hope Foundation honours all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples and their valuable past and present contributions to this land.
