Clearview Public School Division is honoured to be on the traditional meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for time immemorial.
We are on Treaty 6, the traditional territories of the Cree, Saulteaux (So-toe), Blackfoot, Dene (De-nay) & Nakota Sioux (Sue) and Treaty 7, the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, including Siksika (Sick-sick-ah), Piikani (Pee-can-ee), and Kainai (Kigh-a-nigh), the Tsuut’ina (Soot- ina) Nation, and Stoney Nakoda First Nations.
Clearview schools are on the traditional territories of the Métis and we are part of Region Three with the Métis Nation of Alberta.
We give thanks to and are grateful for the Elders and traditional knowledge keepers who are still with us today and those who have gone before. We express gratitude and respect for the land we use, pledge to do our part to end systemic racism, and commit to partnering with Indigenous peoples, as a school division, in order to advance truth and reconciliation.
