Student Affairs - Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the National homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration.
