Sahtu Dene and Metis

This land is the traditional territory of the Sahtu Dene and Metis. Land acknowledgements are a way people insert an awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights into everyday life, often at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, or education guides. They can provide an explicit yet limited recognition of the history of colonialism and First Nations, as well as a need for change in settler-colonial societies. A map used for educational purposes is imperfect and does not represent or intend to represent official or legal boundaries of any Indigenous nations, and definitive boundaries should be obtained from the nation.
