Land is essential to Indigenous ways of life, yet in the prairies, most land is privately owned and off-limits. The Treaty Land Sharing Network (TLSN) works to restore Indigenous Peoples’ access to agricultural land. Landholders in TLSN recognize the importance of sharing land as the Treaties intended and welcome Indigenous people to access food, medicines and ceremonial sites. Shared Lands, Shared Futures aims to increase available land in Alberta by partnering with organizations and hosting educational events to grow its membership. Through land sharing, Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities strengthen their connection to the land, deepen conservation practices and honour Treaty relationships.
