Peg acknowledges that our work takes place on Treaty 1 Territory, the land of the Cree, Ojibway, Dene and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation, where the original people of Turtle Island have gathered for as long as can be remembered. Treaty No. 1 was entered into on August 3, 1871, at Lower Fort Garry. As Winnipeggers, we also acknowledge the water we drink comes from Treaty 3 territory of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and our electricity comes from Treaty 5 territory... As a community indicators system, Peg recognizes its own responsibilities when it comes to data. Measurement, mapping and data have historically served as tools in the colonizing of Indigenous lands, resources, and peoples-from surveying land for Britain, France and Canada, to experiments carried out in residential schools without Indigenous families' knowledge or consent, to using statistics to perpetuate harmful stereotypes of Indigenous people today. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past..
