For time immemorial Kananaskis Country has connected people to the land and each other.
We acknowledge the Iyhare Nakoda (the Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw), the three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Pikani, Kainai and Siksika; the Tsuu T'ina Nation, Metis Nation Region 3 and the Kootenay - the traditional stewards and trail builders who continue to reside, learn and care for this exquisite natural and cultural landscape.
We dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership in a meaningful way.
