About Us

Tansi, Aanin, Ha, Tawnshi, Boozhoo, Bonjour, Hello!

Welcome to this collaborative space that can be used to support our journey in Indigenous Education. As you scroll below, you will find various resources to meaningfully support Indigenous education in teaching and learning and a place to share resources. To your left, you will find a link to our blog which highlights current events, challenges and successes. It is also a place to talk to each other and share ideas. This site is meant to evolve and grow over time as we deepen our learning together.

LRSD Land Acknowledgement

The Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) brings together a community of schools on the traditional land of the Anishinaabeg, Ininewak, and Dakota. Our division is located on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We recognize that Manitoba is also the traditional land of the Anishininiwak and Dene.

We respect the treaties made on this land and acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. We dedicate ourselves to authentic alliances with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and cooperation.   

We recognize and honour Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s life-sustaining drinking water, as well as the Treaty Territories that generate and provide the electricity that powers daily activity throughout the province and beyond.

The ongoing development of LRSD's land acknowledgement is guided by our Indigenous Council of Grandmothers and Grandfathers, and we thank them for their generosity and collaboration.

"Education is what has gotten us into this mess, and education will get us out."
