We also understand that before real change can happen, the truth must be revealed, and only then can we make the path clear for reconciliation. Our organization is committed to help educate, support, preserve, and promote Indigenous, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit histories, traditions, languages, and culture through our publications and online resources. We can help to address the systemic racism, discrimination, and marginalization that has been experienced by Indigenous communities in Canada.</p> <p>The Manitoba Historical Society office is located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.</p> </div> </div> <div class="footer-menu has-white-color"> <div class="menu-footer-menu-container"><ul id="footer-menu" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-112" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-112"><a href="https://mhs.ca/terms-conditions/">Terms & Conditions</a></li> <li id="menu-item-111" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-111"><a href="https://mhs.ca/about-us/faqs/">FAQS</a></li> <li id="menu-item-113" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-113"><a href="https://mhs.ca/get-involved/donate/">Donate</a></li> <li id="menu-item-5701" class="menu-item menu-item-type-taxonomy menu-item-object-product_cat menu-item-5701"><a href="https://mhs.ca/product-category/membership/">Join / Subscribe</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <div class="follow-us"> <h2>FOLLOW US</h2> <div class="social-links has-white-color"> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/manitobahistory"><img src="/images/twitter.svg" alt="twitter" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ManitobaHistoricalSociety/videos"><img src="/images/youtube.svg" alt="youtube" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/manitobahistory/"><img src="/images/instagram.svg" alt="instagram" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/manitobahistory"><img src="/images/facebook-f.svg" alt="facebook" /></a> <a class="link" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@manitobahistory"><img src="/images/tiktok.svg" alt="tiktok" /></a> </div> <div class="registration">BN: 122814601RR0001</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="alignfull"> <div class="site-info has-black-color"> Copyright © 2025 Manitoba Historical Society · <a href="https://mhs.ca/privacy-policy">PRIVACY POLICY</a> · <a href="https://mhs.ca/terms-conditions">TERMS</a> </div> </div> </footer> </table> </body> </html>
