CPA Alberta acknowledges that we reside on the traditional and ancestral territories of many Indigenous, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples.
In the spirit of reconciliation, we recognize our offices are situated on the following traditional territories:
Amiskwacîwâskahikan, or Edmonton, is situated on Indigenous land in Treaty 6 territory. We acknowledge the language, culture, and heritage of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux people. Their histories and culture influence our community to this day.
Moh’kins’tis, or Calgary, is situated on Indigenous land in Treaty 7 territory. We acknowledge the language, culture, and heritage of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations), the Stoney Nakoda First Nations (Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations), Tsuut’ina, Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, and the Métis Nation Region 3. Their histories and culture influence our community to this day.
CPA Alberta is committed to building a profession where Indigenous people and their voices and experiences are heard, valued, respected, and celebrated.
