Land Acknowledgement

Manitoba is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinabek, Inninewak, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples and is the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

Manitoba Aerospace acknowledges, respects, and has the honour of working on lands in Treaty 1 Territory.  It is important to recognize that the land on which we work and live is the traditional and ancestral lands of First Nations peoples who, prior to contact with Europeans, created and maintained important trade routes, belonged to the land and respected non-human species, and thrived in a culture that was celebrated through language, ceremony, tradition and a sustainable economy.  Just as important is the acknowledgement that Treaty 1 Territory is also the homeland of the Red River Métis nation – a nation that came to be in the late 18^th, early 19^th century. A nation of people of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry with its own distinct culture, language, and history.  We also acknowledge that Winnipeg’s drinking water is sourced from Shoal Lake which is part of the traditional lands of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

The members of Manitoba Aerospace are dedicated to moving forward, recognizing, and reconciling the past, in a respectful way that honours individuals, communities and Nations.
