be situated in the traditional territory of the
Treaty 6 Nations including the Cree,
Dene, Nakota Sioux, Blackfoot, and
Saulteaux peoples as well as the
homeland of the Métis nation of
Alberta (Region IV). CUE continues to

languages, and cultures of Indigenous
peoples of Canada, whose presence
continues to enrich our vibrant community.
