Indigenous Partnerships
We acknowledge the traditional territories of the Indigenous Peoples of the Treaty 6 region and the Métis Nation of Alberta, Regions 2 and 4. We respect the truth, languages and cultures of all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit and we would like to pay respect to all of the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for this land for generations.
Alberta’s Industrial Heartland is committed to the principles of Truth and Reconciliations. As part of that commitment, AIHA has and will continue to engage directly with Indigenous communities in proximity to the region. AIHA has developed a Consultation Toolkit to help guide potential international investors through their first steps in engaging with Indigenous communities. In addition, we have developed an Indigenous Business Directory to help introduce companies to Indigenous-owned businesses in the region in order to ensure they have the opportunity to benefit from new development.
