We acknowledge that we are gathered on Treaty 1 Territory and that Manitoba is located on the Treaty Territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations, and that Manitoba is located on the Homeland of the Red River Métis. 

We acknowledge that in Northern Manitoba are the ancestral lands of the Inuit peoples, and we in Treaty One Territory benefit from water taken from Shoal Lake 40 in Treaty 3 Territory.

We respect the spirit and intent of Treaties and Treaty Making and remain committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration. We are all treaty people.
