We acknowledge that we live and work on land that has been inhabited by Indigenous Peoples from the beginning.
We live, work, and gather throughout Saskatchewan on Treaty 2, Treaty 4, Treaty 5, Treaty 6, Treaty 8, and Treaty 10 territory; the traditional territory of the Cree, Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and Saulteaux peoples and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.
We recognize the many contributions of Métis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples, both in shaping and strengthening these communities throughout our province. We acknowledge we are all treaty people and should commit to supporting Indigenous rights to self-determination.
We recognize the many contributions and historic importance of Indigenous Peoples must be clearly connected to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of reconciliation real in our communities. Each of us has a part to play in making Canada a more just society. CUPE has committed to partner with Indigenous allies to ensure government fulfills their promise to fully implement the ninety-four calls to action through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
We pay our respect to the traditional caretakers of this land.
