I acknowledge that 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 made on these territories.I acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. With a
spirit of reconciliation and collaboration, I move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities.In all my actions, I am grounded in salutogenesis and aim to contribute to health creation within places and settings where people live, learn, play, work,
and love.
