We are a charitable Civic Partner of The City of Calgary focused on the research, education, and preservation of our shared heritage in Calgary. We believe heritage is a dynamic process by which identity is experienced, interpreted, and represented and take pride in working with Calgarians to honour the fabric that we are all a part of.
Land Acknowledgement
Heritage Calgary acknowledges the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This includes: the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations collectively known as the Blackfoot Confederacy; the Îethka Stoney Nakoda Nation, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina Nation. The city of Calgary is also home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta Districts 5 and 6. We acknowledge all Indigenous urban Calgarians, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis who have made Calgary their home.
We are grateful to work, live and learn on the land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, the traditional Blackfoot name for which is “Moh’kins’tsis”. Heritage Calgary acknowledges the history of this land, and the role colonization has played in the lives of Indigenous people today and that every day is an opportunity to engage in and work towards demonstrating leadership on reconciliation.
