Land ACKNOWLEDGeMENT

Turning Leaf Support Services acknowledges and respects that the lands on which we gather are the traditional lands of Treaty 1, the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Anisininew, Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We acknowledge that northern Manitoba includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit. Our work also extends throughout Treaty 2, the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Anisininew, Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis, Treaty 4, the original lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota, and Lakota Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis, and Treaty 5, the original lands of Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the Anisininew, Cree and Dene Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the original intent of the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms of the past and the resulting intergenerational trauma, and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in the spirit of truth and reconciliation.
