Land Acknowledgement

Three Left Feet is based on the traditional territory of the Blackfoot people and their name for the place where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet is called Moh’kins’tsis. We acknowledge the people that came before us in the Blackfoot confederacy including the Sik'sika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Tsuut'ina and Iyarhe Nakoda including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations. Treaty 7 territory is also home to the Metis Nation, Region 3. We acknowledge the treaty relationship of friendship and kinship with the Indigenous peoples who gathered here for thousands of years and all Indigenous people continuing to live here today.

May we all love and honour this place, and celebrate that we are all treaty people.
