Governing Documents
Land Acknowledgement
The Association of Alberta Health Libraries acknowledges that we are located on historical and contemporary Indigenous land. This Land is a crossroads and gathering place for nations including the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), the Îethka Stoney-Nakoda, Tsuut’ina, Nehiyawak (Cree), Saulteaux, Dene, and other distinct Peoples. The knowledges and experiences of the Peoples of these nations are connected to the Land, and are dynamically present in this space today. We also recognize that this Land is part of Treaties 6, 7, and 8 as well as the historical Northwest Métis Homeland – which includes five Territories. As professionals engaging with concepts of knowledge production, knowledge diffusion and knowledge organization, we recognize it is our responsibility to respect Indigenous Ways of Knowing and with this statement we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in the spirit of partnership, reconciliation and collaboration.
