Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the western Canada’s Mountain Parks, including Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho, and Waterton Lakes National Parks, are located on the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples. We honour and respect the diverse Indigenous cultures and histories of the Stoney Nakoda, Tsuutʼina, Ktunaxa, Secwépemc, Syilx, and Blackfoot Nations, among others, who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial.
