The University of Calgary acknowledges the traditional territories of the people of the
Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising
the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations), as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the
Stoney Nakoda (including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations). The City of
Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. UCalgary is situated on
land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot
name of this place is “Moh’kins’tsis,” which we now call the City of Calgary.
