LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - Winnipeg Office

Number TEN Architectural Group in Winnipeg, Manitoba works on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional homeland of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew Nations, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We are situated near the ancestral meeting place where two rivers meet, on the lands traditionally known as Win-nipi, in the Cree language meaning ‘muddy waters.’ We acknowledge that the source of water is from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

This land has been repeatedly modified, damaged, and polluted through acts of construction some of which have and continue to dislocate communities, and has impacted the health of the land itself.

We want to recognize architecture as complicit in our colonial history and ongoing treatment of Indigenous peoples. We strive to be allies in Truth and Reconciliation and see with open eyes the present-day injustices, inequities, and violence impacting the health, wellbeing, and safety of Indigenous peoples throughout our province, particularly women and youth.

This statement is an expression of hope, respect and caring for Indigenous peoples, who continue to steward the land for future generations and protect our environment. We offer this acknowledgment in the belief that it will help us be mindful design professionals, architects, and friends.

This offering is not static but living and will evolve as we learn together.
