Land Acknowledgement

Winnipeg and Manitoba are the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Anishininew, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Inuit, Dene, and Métis People. We respect the Treaties that were made on these traditional lands and Territories that we live and travel on.

Our Hydro electricity power is generated in northern Manitoba, home to the Ininew.

Winnipeg water we consume comes from Shoal Lake adjacent to Shoal Lake 40 First Nation who have struggled to have safe drinking water access and for Freedom Road.

We acknowledge the damage of the past, and present, and commit to meaningful relationship and solidarity with Native people.

 

We respect crown, public, private, indigenous lands and environment, ecosystems and sustainability and strive to ecologically improve places we visit.

 

Community Acknowledgement

Manitoba Mushroom Society welcomes and respects
BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIIA+ and less privileged persons.
