to the Lhoosk’uz Dené Nation and Ulkatcho First Nation for their partnership as we move forward with the

Creator and give thanks for all of the blessings that our Creator has given to us. We also want to

on our land and natural resources. We also want to recognize our ancestors, who were the caretakers of
this land before us. “
