Land Acknowledgement

Bayanihan Therapy Services serves clients throughout the province of Manitoba, located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Inniniwak, Ojibwe Cree, Dakota, Dene, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

We honour the treaties that were made on these territories and respectfully acknowledge and strive to avoid the harms of the past, those that continue into the present day, and the new harms that manifest in today's society. We dedicate ourselves in the spirit of service, conciliation, and collaboration with colonized, therefore marginalized communities.

We recognize that land acknowledgments are one of the first steps, not the only step in reconciliation and correcting harms of the past and present, and that as healthcare professionals, we have an integral part to play in shifting healthcare experiences for Indigenous people and systemically marginalized groups, to building trust, and to understanding the historical intentions and harms of the medical care system and its impact on Indigenous people.
