Manitoba Opera is located upon, and operates within, Treaty #1 territory, the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples’ traditional lands and waters and the Red River Métis Nation homelands.

As water nourishes the land and all it gives us, we also acknowledge that the source of the City of Winnipeg’s water is from Shoal Lake, the home and shared territory of Iskatewizaagegan No. 39 Independent Nation and Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

In view of such understandings and acknowledgments, Manitoba Opera remains committed to working in partnership with the Indigenous peoples in the spirit of truth, reconciliation, and collaboration.
