The Winnipeg Architecture Foundation acknowledges that Manitoba is located on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline and Nehethowuk Nations. We acknowledge that Manitoba is located on the Homeland of the Red River Métis, and includes lands that were and are the ancestral lands of the Inuit.
The Winnipeg Architecture Foundation gathers and works on Treaty One land, near the confluence of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers, part of one of the many land and water routes travelled by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The water that sustains us comes from Treaty 3 lands, the shores of Shoal Lake Nations 39 and 40. Much of the electric power we rely on comes from rivers that run through Treaty 1, 3 & 5 lands.
