The College of Dental Hygienists of Saskatchewan acknowledges that the registrants we regulate and the public we serve live, work, and receive care on the traditional lands of the Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree), Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux), Nakota, Dakota, and Lakota Nations, the Denesuline Peoples, and the traditional homeland of the Métis.
We respect the long-standing and meaningful relationships Indigenous Peoples have with the land and recognize the role these relationships play in community, culture, and wellbeing.
We acknowledge the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism on Indigenous Peoples, including inequities in oral health care. We are committed to moving forward with respect and in partnership with Indigenous Peoples, in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
