Land Acknowledgement
The Watrous – Manitou Beach Heritage Centre is situated on the borderlands of Treaty 4 Territory to the south and Treaty 6 Territory to the north. These are the traditional lands of the Plains Cree, Woods Cree, and Assiniboine peoples, and the Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respect to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this place and reaffirm our relationship with one another. All of the people of Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 are beneficiaries of these peace and friendship treaties. The Heritage Centre is committed to preserving the rich history of this area through showcasing stories of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
