The Manitoba Eco-Network recently had the opportunity to sign onto the City of Winnipeg’s Indigenous Accord, along with a number of other community organizations, on June 19th, 2026.
As an Accord Partner, MbEN has set goals to keep ourselves accountable. We look to TRC Calls to Action #57 and #92, and will provide education to our staff and board members which sheds light on the history of Indigenous Peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, UNDRIP, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Indigenous–Crown relations, including skills based training in inter-cultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism.
MbEN will also look to the MMIWG Calls for Justice 2.1 and 15.1-8, ensuring that our practices recognize and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples. We will continue our work in building respectful relationships with Indigenous communities, and utilize our Network to speak out against violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
