SEAWA recognizes that our work occurs within the territories of Treaty 4 and Treaty 7, with staff also joining from Treaty 6, and on the homeland of the Métis. We acknowledge the long history of Indigenous Nations whose knowledge systems, stewardship practices, and relationships with these lands continue to guide responsible care of water and ecosystems. This history shapes how we approach watershed planning, informed by Indigenous science and the responsibility to maintain these landscapes for future generations. We honour these communities by committing to respectful collaboration and ongoing learning in our stewardship and watershed work.
