The Board of Broad View International Film Festival acknowledges that we live and work in amiskwacîywâskahikan, colonially known as Edmonton, on Treaty 6 territory, the traditional meeting place of the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries. We are grateful to be sharing stories here.
