About
Bow Valley College aims to uphold the intention of the numbered friendship treaties from the perspective of Indigenous Peoples. We also remain collectively accountable to respect Indigenous Peoples’ legal and inherited rights recognizing we are all Treaty Peoples.
Through our words and actions, Bow Valley College honours the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations; as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda: Goodstoney, Chiniki, and Bearspaw First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation.
We also recognize the connection and autonomy of the Métis Nation, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
We join all Nations in celebrating the unique histories, traditions, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples as we continue our journey on the road toward reconciliation together.
