Augustine United Church is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, Inninwok, Dakota, and Anisininew peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis.

We respect the treaties that were made on these territories.  We have learned and continue to learn from Indigenous wisdom and spiritual practices.

We know, too, that deep and lasting harm has been caused by actions which are part of Canada’s history of systemic colonization. We acknowledge many hurtful actions continue to be made even now. 

Therefore, we commit ourselves to the truth telling that needs to continue as we seek reconciliation and healing and as we work toward a better future.

We are all Treaty People.
