The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. I respect
the Treaties that were made on these territories, I acknowledge the harms of the past, and I dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with Indigenous Peoples in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

and a culture of inclusive excellence.

- Institutional Impact projects (funding limit of $60,000): These are initiatives that may require longer term funding (up to 3 years) and have greater potential for making a university-wide
impact.
