EDIA and Reconciliation Statement

Land and Water Acknowledgement

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet teaches, creates, and performs on the lands of the Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe), Ininew (Cree), Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. Our water originates in Shoal Lake 40 First Nation territory. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
