I acknowledge and honour this land where the University of Manitoba campuses are located, which are the traditional lands of the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. I acknowledge my family and ancestors who have lived along the banks of the Red River and have taken care of this land for hundreds of years.
