From Indigenous Box to the world
Indigenous Box™ is sharing Indigenous business with people across the globe
Edmonton International Airport and Villeneuve Airport
"As an "Airport for Everyone," we are committed to learning from and collaborating with our Indigenous neighbours, organizations and communities to create a sense of place in the terminal. This includes things like Indigenous art, retail, music, history, items of cultural significance and an overall atmosphere of diversity and respect. In 2022, we opened a first-of-its-kind Indigenous Interpretive and Retail Centre in the YEG terminal to contribute to our reconciliation journey."

Land Acknowledgment
Indigenous Box™ proudly acknowledges that the land on which we operate, in Treaty Six Territory, is home to many First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Metis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway, Saulteaux and Inuit. We honour and respect the cultures, languages, stories, ceremonies and histories of the many nations whose traditions were established before treaty. We also acknowledge that this land holds a rich legacy of the promise to live side by side in peace and friendship “for as long as the sun shines, grass grows and river flows”, as written in Treaty Six, signed in Fort Pitt in 1876.
