As Will enters the traditional territory of the Sahtu Dene and Métis people, he offers the following in recognition of those peoples and their stewardship of their lands.
From Will
I would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which I travel is the traditional territory of the Sahtu Dene and Métis people, including the K’ásho Got’ı̨nę, Délı̨nę Got’ı̨nę, and Tulít’a Got’ı̨nę. I recognize their enduring connection to this land, the waters, and the wildlife of the Sahtu region, which has nourished them for generations. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, and honor their stewardship of this territory from time immemorial.
