We at the Cerebral Palsy Association of Manitoba recognize that we live on what was once the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples, who cherished and honoured the land. Chief Seattle said, “Humans merely share the Earth, we can only protect the land, not own it.” We want to acknowledge past harm, and are dedicated to removing ongoing systemic inequalities. We seek to honour historic treaties and commit to the ongoing work of reconciliation, education, justice and healing.
