LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize the privilege of owning and operating a business on Treaty 1 Territory.  The ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations.

We acknowledge Manitoba is located on the Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We acknowledge northern Manitoba includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit.

We acknowledge that our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. 

We honour the Treaties established in these lands and recognize the historical wrongs and harm, along with the enduring impact of settler colonialism.

We also acknowledge that, as a predominantly white-led company, we largely benefit from these circumstances.

We are committed to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration by creating space for Indigenous creatives. 

It's crucial to recognize that while Land Acknowledgments play a role in fostering connections with Indigenous communities, they represent just a piece of what should be a larger effort.
