00:00 Many, many years ago, my great-uncle asked my grandfather, "How long have we been here?"
00:09 He relayed a story about carrying our way of life as Nii-tutapi, the Blackfoot-speaking
00:15 people.
00:16 The prairie region was dominated by the prairie grizzly bear.
00:20 The prairie grizzly bear said, "You have to make treaty with everything in this prairie
00:25 land, the animals, the birds, the fish, the water, the hills, the rocks.
00:31 They all live in beans."
00:33 He said, "I will move to the southern region."
00:36 And so they became Naukechukapi, the people of the plains, of the open country.
00:45 We were part of the ecosystem.
00:49 We were not masters of it.
00:51 The buffalo and the moose and the elk and the antelope and the deer and the grass and
00:59 the trees were more than us.
01:02 We were raised to believe that everything has a spirit, that everything around us is
01:09 alive and has a purpose.
01:13 We praise Creator, giver of life.
01:19 We give thanks to Mother Earth.
01:22 You know, after we grow up from our biological mothers, the Earth becomes our caregiver.
01:30 Everything that we need is there.
01:33 And we're supposed to honor the Creator with all our life, and we're supposed to look after
01:39 the gift of the land that He gave us to live on.
01:44 For us, the land tells us the story.
01:48 I mean, it's just story after story.
01:54 This happened here, this happened here, this happened over here.
01:59 M'kins, the story is Naapi, the old man standing with his bow and his elbows on this side.
02:09 That was how our warriors pictured the landscape.
02:15 All the tributaries run into the bow.
02:18 It's the mother of all the water that flows through.
02:22 People came there, they asked, "What's the name of this river?"
02:26 They said, "We cut our bow from the chokecherry trees.
02:33 They're strong and powerful.
02:36 We named this river the bow, Namaxta."
02:41 I was born and raised in a road allowance, a strip of land that the farmers didn't want
02:50 and the government didn't have no use for.
02:53 Métis were just out on their own.
02:57 We didn't belong anywhere.
02:59 In Treaty 7 territory, I'm accepted.
03:03 I'm something, and I'm with my people.
03:07 As you're in the territory of your ancestors, this is home, something that we pass on to
03:17 our children and to our grandchildren.
03:21 This land has to be acknowledged.
03:24 The people that took care of this land for a long time have to be acknowledged.
03:29 You know, at least find the truth about us.
03:33 I'm a residential school survivor, but it's up to me to have courage and go back and learn
03:42 the ways of my people.
03:44 The elders will say, "I pray that the young people will not forget the Creator."
03:52 The true acknowledgement of the land every day.
04:00 We honour our ancestors by acknowledging Treaty 7 territory.
04:06 We acknowledge the Treaty 7 nations, the Pikunni First Nation, the Siksika First Nation, the
04:18 Kena First Nation, the Stony Nakoda First Nations, and the Tsutina First Nation.
04:29 We acknowledge the ancestral territory of the Siksikape, the Blackfoot Confederacy,
04:35 and the home of Métis Region Number 3.
