Cyrus Literary Productions would like to acknowledge that the land upon which we are run is Treaty 7 territory, which has been and continues to be the traveling route, gathering place, and meeting grounds of Indigenous Peoples. Our company resides in the ancestral, traditional, and future lands of the Siksikaitsitapi (sik-sik-AYE-sit-a-PEE), comprised of the Siksika (SIK-sik-a), Piikani (bpee-GUN-ee), Amskapi Piikani (AHM-skah ‘ BPEE-gun-nee) First Nations; the Tsuut’ina (SOOT-inna) First Nation; and the Îyârhe Nakoda (ae-YAR-hay na-KOH-da), including the Chiniki (CHIN-ih-kee), Bearspaw (Bear-s-paw) and Goodstoney (Good-stoney) First Nations, as well as the Métis Otipemisiwak (MAY-tee oh-TIH-pem-SOO-wuk) and Esikisimu Nunangat (EE-see-KEE-see-mow nu-na-NAT).

We are grateful for the languages, cultures, traditions, and histories of this land that influence us and grow our knowledge. Let this acknowledgement evoke in all of us, a call to action to uphold our treaty relationships and to pursue our duties to reconciliation.
