Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge these lands are, and always have been, home to diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. We honour their enduring presence and deep connection to this territory, interwoven with its aromatic plants.
For generations, Indigenous peoples have sustained a profound understanding of these plants, using them for healing, ceremony, and daily life. This traditional ecological knowledge predates modern aromatherapy, emphasizing holistic well-being and the powerful synergy between people and plants.
We acknowledge that past policies of expulsion and assimilation shape our ability to live here. As we engage with aromatic plants, we commit to learning from and honouring the original stewards of this land, respecting their history, culture, and invaluable contributions.
