LAND AFFIRMATION

Volunteer Alberta’s main office is situated on Treaty 6 Territory, specifically,
amiskwaciwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) as it is referred to by the Plains Cree
peoples among other Indigenous names, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Our
staff, board, and our work reach across Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, and we
affirm that the land we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory,
as well as present-day homes of many Nations, including the Blackfoot
Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota
Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta,
which includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of
Alberta. Since time immemorial, First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples have
cared for these lands, and they continue to do so today. We encourage you to
visit Native Land to learn more about the land and its Nations where you live,
work, and play.

Volunteer Alberta identifies and affirms the historical and current
relationships of these Nations to the land as an act of reconciliation and with
the awareness that acknowledging, recognizing, or affirming these facts is a
small step and not enough. Quoting Sheila Batacharya and Yuk-Lin Renita Wong,
Sharing Breath (2018):

“This recognition of land theft, while important, is discursive and thus remains
limited. Indeed, our determination, as [mostly] non-Indigenous inhabitants of …
Turtle Island, to respect treaty relationships and acknowledge settler
responsibility for the historical appropriation of Indigenous land is
inescapably compromised, given that, in Canada, land can evidently be stolen and
not returned provided you admit to wrongdoing, say you’re sorry, speak solemnly
about the need for reconciliation, and continue to make promises that, in fact,
have never materialized.”

Volunteer Alberta is committed to reflecting on, critiquing, and changing our
ways of knowing, being, and doing in order to start supporting and concretely
contributing to reconciliation and Indigenous Resurgence in ways we have not yet
done.

In June 2023, we embarked on a journey to envision the future of volunteerism
and civic engagement in Alberta. Thank you to all those who took part in our
Community Conversations and member survey this summer. Your wisdom and
aspirations for the nonprofit/voluntary sector will serve as key inputs for our
strategic ‘north star’ document that will guide VA’s direction from 2024 to
2026.
