Land Acknowledgment
The members of the Partners for Humanity wish to honour the First Peoples of this land and the unique, enduring ancestral relationship they have with it. We acknowledge that we live, learn, and work on the traditional territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7, and Treaty 8, as well as the homeland of the Métis Nation within Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the eight Métis Settlements of Alberta. These lands are home to diverse Indigenous Nations, including the Blackfoot, Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Ojibwe, Stoney Nakota Sioux, and Tsuut’ina peoples, as well as the Métis Nation of Alberta.
We honour and respect the Treaties made on these territories and acknowledge the deep histories, languages, and cultures that continue to thrive in spite of the ongoing impacts of colonization. We also recognize the traumatic and painful legacies of colonial violence, displacement, and systemic injustice that Indigenous Peoples continue to face across Turtle Island.
As we work to confront and dismantle the racism and discrimination experienced by Black communities in Canada, we recognize that these struggles are not isolated. They are deeply interconnected with the experiences of Indigenous and other racialized communities, both historically and today. Reconciliation and anti-racism are not parallel efforts—they are braided together in our vision of justice, equity, and collective healing.
With humility and care, we commit ourselves to building meaningful, long-term partnerships with Indigenous communities—grounded in trust, respect, and a willingness to listen and learn. Together, we strive toward a shared vision: a just, inclusive, healthy, and sustainable Alberta for all.
Partners for Humanity is committed to examining institutionally entrenched modes of anti-Black racism, hate, and Islamophobia that defy simplistic analyses and require creative research methods for a deeper understanding.

What surprised us in our previous research was how unprepared immigrants feel in terms of the level of settling in urban areas, it is not what they expected, some are looking even to go back. Some questions that stood out in our previous research: Which communities feel more supported? was their social networks able to help them integrate more into Canada? Does this depend on ethnicity and country of origin? Is there any impact for those people who have low levels of English and impacting immigrant experience?
We create the right data that is adaptive and flexible to analyze and address biases, equipping ourselves against the risks that are to come and address those out of age.
