Indigenous Peoples Land Acknowledgement

The Rotary Club of Jasper adopted Indigenous Relations as a new area of service focus in July 2021, and as part of our new path of learning, awareness, relationship building and reconciliation, have created an interim land acknowledgement statement that recognizes the strong historic, traditional, and cultural connections that more than 20 indigenous communities (First Nation and Metis) have with Jasper National Park. It also honors their contributions to building our park, our province, and our nation. We respectfully acknowledge that the lands on which we gather here today in the community of Jasper and within the boundaries of Jasper National Park are situated in Treaty 6 and Treaty 8, as well as part of the traditional lands of the Beaver, Cree, Ojibway, Secwépemc, Stoney, and Métis. We acknowledge the land as an act of reconciliation that honors the authentic history of Turtle Island and the original people of these traditional lands.
