The IGA is honoured to be part of the tradition of guiding that began with the Indigenous Peoples of this land. As uninvited settlers, we want to recognize the deep connection that these Nations have had with these lands and waters since time immemorial and continue to have today. As interpretive guides, we understand the importance of place, story, and connection. This acknowledgment serves as a reminder that our stories are always rooted in the land and in the people who have cared for it long before us. We hope that in our work and lives, we continue to carry this awareness forward.
