Hadford Defence Group
Land Acknowledgement
Hadford Defence Group acknowledges the ancestral and traditional territory of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, Siksika) in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta; including the Tsuut’ina First Nation and Nakoda (Stoney) First Nation (Chiniki, Bearpaw, Wesley) and nearby Metis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
We are sorry for the system of colonialization that supported genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced removal as a way to acquire land. We hold ourselves accountable for the bad faith, broken promises and ongoing colonialism and oppression that taint the treaties and the ability for Indigenous communities to thrive. We commit ourselves to Call to Action #27 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada that calls upon lawyers to receive skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
We acknowledge the many Indigenous peoples whose footsteps have marked these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those upon whose unceded territory we reside.
