Indigenous Commitment

Southport is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota Peoples,
and is the birthplace and homeland of the Métis Nation.
Southport is committed to strengthening its growing relationship with the Indigenous community through an
acknowledgment of the harms of the past, and through a commitment to ongoing reconciliation, cooperation,
respect, and partnership. The history of the land that Southport is located on will forever be part of its future,
be it the comparatively recent history of Military Flight Training, or the origins of the Indigenous heritage that
this land holds.
