Bike Winnipeg has the privilege of riding on the roads and pathways of Treaty No. 1 Territory, along the Red, Assiniboine, Seine, and LaSalle Rivers. Our work takes place on the original lands and waters of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak/Nehethowuk, Anisininew, Dakota Oyate, and Dënësułiné Peoples, as well as on the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation.
We recognize our part in the Treaty relationship and are committed to working toward mobility and environmental justice for all, on land transformed by colonialism. We commit to collaborating with Indigenous communities in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation.
As we gather in Treaty 1 Territory it is important to recognize and honour Treaty 3, in particular Shoal Lake 40 First Nation and Iskatewizaagegan (es-ka-tay-wiz-zah-gay-gun) #39 Independent First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. It is also important to recognize and honour the First Nations of Treaties 1, 3, and 5, the Land where Winnipeg sources its hydroelectric power.
