National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

On this day,

Iron & Earth’s team recognizes that we are settlers that inhabit unceded lands across Turtle Island, territories full of rich Indigenous history and traditions. We aim to honour and respect the past and present connection of Indigenous Peoples with this land, its waterways, and resources.

On Truth and Reconciliation Day, we join together to honour survivors, their families and communities, and to mourn all the children who were lost to the repressive residential school system. We also join our voices to those claiming for the full implementation of the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous Rights, as well as the 94 Calls to Action proposed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.

With this in mind, our organization is committed to always attaining free, prior, and informed consent when working with Indigenous Peoples, as well as our team being trained in accordance to the Call to Action number 92.iii with skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.

In solidarity,

The Iron & Earth Team





Next post: Transition Stories

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
