The members of the Polish Canadian Museum & Archives acknowledge that the Museum is located in Treaty One territory, on the original lands of Anishnaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and in the homeland of the Métis Nation. Our members respect the treaties that were made on these territories. We acknowledge the roles of Polish immigrants in the settlement and continued colonization of these territories. We dedicate ourselves to educating ourselves about past and current events, the larger system of colonization that many of us have benefitted from and our role within it, and to taking steps where possible to collaborate in partnership with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in the spirit of Reconciliation. We acknowledge that the water we use to sustain our lives is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation in Treaty 3 Territory.
