Manitoba Camping Association acknowledges that we in Manitoba live, work and play on Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Territories and on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene Peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation.​ We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories as they are an important reminder of the obligations to and shared responsibilities with Indigenous people. We are dedicated to having conversations from a place of learning and collaboration with the Indigenous community, as through education, we move forward on our journey of reconciliation. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and are committed to improving our relationships with the Indigenous community. Further, we believe that camps can contribute to healing and reconciliation.
