Winnipeg and Manitoba are the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Anishininew, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Inuit, Dene, and Métis People. I respect the Treaties that were made on these traditional lands and Territories that I live and travel on. Hydro electricity power I use is generated in northern Manitoba, home to the Ininew. Winnipeg water I consume comes from Shoal Lake adjacent to Shoal Lake 40 First Nation who have struggled to have safe drinking water access and for Freedom Road. I acknowledge the damage of the past, and present, and commit to meaningful relationship and solidarity with Native people.
