Statement of Acknowledgement of Indigenous Ancestral and Territorial Lands

​

Research Manitoba acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 1 Territory, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Metis. We acknowledge Manitoba is located on the Treaty Territories and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations, and northern Manitoba includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
