Wild Calm Forest Therapy acknowledges that Milena's forest therapy sessions and administrative work take place on Indigenous land in Treaty 6 territory. This land has been occupied, travelled, and stewarded by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial through the present day. Colonization of these lands, including racist attitudes and policies, has and continues to cause damage to Indigenous peoples and their fundamental connection to their lands. Milena is working towards increasing her own cultural education, including studying Cree language, and seeking ways to remove barriers for Indigenous folks to participate in forest therapy sessions.

The places we gather in to practice forest therapy are in or near ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ, amiskwacîwâskahikan, Edmonton, which is a traditional meeting ground, gathering place, and travelling route of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Dene, Nakoda (Sioux), Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), and Otipemisiwak (Métis) whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich our shared heritage.
