The Manitoba Museum acknowledges that we are on Treaty No. 1 land, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Nêhiyawak, and Michif. These lands, water, and waterways are the unceded territories of the Dakota, and the homeland of the Red River Métis. The Museum is committed to reflecting the continued legacies of all of the original peoples of this province, including the Ithiniwak, Denesułine, Anisininew, Inuit, and Nakota. We acknowledge the harms of the past, are committed to improving relationships in the spirit of truth and reconciliation, and appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect.
