Why we acknowledge the treaty territories we live on

Aug.3, 2021, marks the 150th anniversary of the creation of Treaty 1.

But treatiesare more than historic agreements. And the land acknowledgements -- that start everything from hockey games to school symposiums -- are more than just words.

They're true stories that began in the not-so-distant past. Stories that even today, we're all very much a part of.

What's more, land acknowledgements are one small part of reconciliation and representa relationship between those who are making the acknowledgementand the First Nations they're acknowledging.
