The Chinook Sexual Assault Centre acknowledges that we are settlers on the traditional territories of the people of the Sik sik ait sitapi or the Blackfoot Confederacy. Today, four nations make up Sik sik aitsi tapi: the Kainai Nation (Blood Tribe), the Piikani Nation, the Siksika Nation in southern Alberta, as well as the Blackfeet Tribe in northern Montana. As both the traditional and current Land Keepers of this area, the Blackfoot Nations have welcomed people from other Indigenous territories, including all signatory Nations of Treaty No. 7, members of the Métis Nation, and non-Indigenous people who have come to call this area home. Our work includes acting on Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation framework with continued learning and action to address deep-rooted systems of oppression and racism. We stand committed to the advancement of equity, diversity and inclusion for all people; for the health and well-being of our community.
