UCN acknowledges that we are on the traditional

territories and homelands of many Indigenous

peoples, in particular the Cree, Dene, Red River

Métis, and Oji-Cree. Indigenous peoples have

continuously maintained homelands in northern

Manitoba since time immemorial. The First

Nations in the area that UCN serves entered into

treaty relationships with the Crown (within our

region these include signatories to treaties 4, 5 -

and the treaty 5 adhesion, and treaty 6 - located

within the treaty 5 adhesion). The territory has

also become home to other Indigenous peoples.

We uphold the treaties and collaborate with all

Indigenous peoples to share truth, reconciliation,

and learning.
