Territorial acknowledgement

Northern Lights College acknowledges that our campuses are situated on the ancestral and traditional land of many nations, including the Dunne-Za, Cree, Tsáá? Ché Ne Dane, Saulteau, Tse’Khene, Kaska Dena, Tahltan, and Tlingit. We also recognize Metis Nation members who share a deep history with this land.

We, at Northern Lights College, commit to restoring and honouring the Truth and Reconciliation calls to action; we strongly believe that truth must be acknowledged to move forward to reconciliation. We are grateful for the Traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We acknowledge our hosts and honor their gracious welcome to those seeking knowledge.
