It is important to remember that what we call home is the ancestral territory of the Indigenous People of Canada. The Numbered Treaties are integral to the relationship between Indigenous communities and Canada.
Sarah Schmid – CPAWS SK Indigenous Communities Liaison
As the designated “Indigenous Liaison” for CPAWS-Saskatchewan, I was asked to write a piece to celebrate Indigenous History Month this June. I must admit, at first, I was a bit stumped as to how I would convey the importance of this event and intimated on how to explain that working with indigenous peoples has helped to shape my life.
