The Reefer Medness team acknowledges, respects and has the honour of working on lands in Treaty 2 Territory, a treaty that was negotiated and entered into in 1871 at Manitoba House. It is important to recognize that the land on which we’re gathered is the home of the Dakota, Anishinabe, Inninewak , Anishininwag, Dene and Métis peoples. It is on these lands, that prior to European contact, Indigenous peoples established and maintained important trade routes, connected with and lived off the land, and thrived in a culture of language, ceremony, tradition and a sustainable livelihood.
