Working with the values of harmony, accountability and responsible stewardship of the land, Urban River Adventures acknowledges and honours the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples who have lived on and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Elders and Knowledge Keepers who are still with us today, and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude on behalf of all those who will be visiting these ancient waterways, as such;
We honour and acknowledge these lands as the traditional territory of the Confederacy of Treaty 6, the homeland of the Métis, as represented by the Metis Nation of Alberta, Region 4, and as the historical gathering place of all Indigenous Peoples within the province of Alberta. With the deepest respect we recognise the diverse histories and cultures of all Indigenous communities who have been and continue gathering, living in harmony and travelling the North Saskatchewan River; calling these territories home for millennia.
