Elemental Human is rooted in Treaty 6 territory, where I live, work, learn, and play. I acknowledge the First Nations and Métis peoples whose relationships with these lands and waters have existed since time immemorial and continue today.
As this work reaches people across Canada, I also honour the distinct First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have cared for and continue to care for the lands and waters where each of us lives.
I offer this acknowledgement with humility, recognizing that words must be accompanied by ongoing learning, respectful relationships, reciprocity, and action. Elemental Human’s belief that we flourish in relationship with nature is not new wisdom. I am grateful to learn on Indigenous lands and committed to engaging with that truth respectfully, without claiming it as my own.
