UCN acknowledges that we are on the traditional


territories and homelands of many Indigenous


peoples, in particular the Cree, Dene, Red River


Metis, 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.
