The Pas Helping Hands 4-H Club

Creative Manitoba acknowledges we are gathered on Treaty 1 Territory, the ancestral lands and unceded homelands of the Anishinaabe, Anishininewuk, Nehiyawak, Dakota Oyate, Denesuline Nations and the National homeland of the Red River Métis. Our presence on this traditional land is sustained by Nibi (water) from the community Shoal Lake 40 First Nation in Treaty 3 Territory and electricity from beyond Treaty 1 Territory, including Nelson River in Treaty 5 Territory.

Water is life, and land is sacred to all Indigenous people. Acknowledging the land and territory on which we stand is a cultural practice meant to express gratitude to the original homelands, to pay respect to the original inhabitants, and honour the spirit of reconciliation.
