Jensen ranch rescue

 JRR is honoured to work with the land and the residents of Mînî Thnî and Treaty 7. We recognize and acknowledge that, for many centuries long before the European Settlers arrived, thousands of Indigenous people lived full, rich and imaginative lives on and near the very lands upon which we are situated.  These people had hopes and dreams, loved their children, protected and served their communities, prayed to their Creator, and held deep knowledge about and respect for the natural world upon which they depended for their livelihood.

We recognize and acknowledge that when European settlers came to these lands, they were welcomed and supported to establish themselves.  Eventually, a peace and friendship treaty was signed, which we now know as Treaty 7, between Canada and the people known as the Stoney Nakoda peoples of the Chiniki, Bearspaw and GoodStoney Bands, the Tsuut’ina, the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples of Siksika, Piikani and Kainai Bands, and also home to the Metis residing in the Rocky View Metis District, and Inuit and other Indigenous peoples living within this territory.

We gratefully acknowledge that where we live and work is within Treaty 7 Territory. 

We are thankful to our hosts for the many contributions Indigenous people of these lands have made and continue to make to the wellbeing and prosperity of our community and our country.

Personally we recognize the need to acknowledge and better understand the truth of our past and present as we commit to reconciliation of our present and future.
