Building Relationships with Business Communication — Creation Statement
This textbook has been created at Dalhousie University, which sits in Mi’kma’qi, the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw people. This territory and its lakes and ocean waters, animals, plants, and trees have nurtured us with shelter, medicine, and food. We are grateful for the Mi’kmaq stewardship of the land and recognize that the Peace and Friendship Treaties, with their commitments between sovereign nations, obligate us to participate in that stewardship and to ensure that Indigenous rights to this place are upheld. This textbook aims to help students establish and maintain positive relationships through business communication. We hope this book moves us toward right relations with our Mi’kmaw partners and each other as we continue to work toward Reconciliation.
