MAS is pleased to announce that the Government of Saskatchewan, Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport (PCS) is providing funding support to the Saskatchewan museum sector with $47,000.00 to be used to assist with technology upgrades, minor accessibility costs, and support for the development and delivery of programming that contributes to the access, cultural impact, and service to their communities.
MAS’s work and support reaches lands covered by Treaties 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 & 10 currently known as the Province of Saskatchewan, comprised of the territories of the Nêhiyâwak, Anihšināpēk , Dene, Dakota, Lakota, Michif/Métis, and Nakota nations. We are committed to focus on repairing the relationships between immigrant Canadians who have settled here over centuries and the First Nations people who have walked these lands since time immemorial. MAS recognizes the roles of museums in perpetuating colonial practices in Canada both directly and indirectly through collection and display practices, policy, and harmful rhetoric. We commit to explore our roles in nurturing meaningful relationships and building understanding. We dedicate our efforts to working together in a spirit of collaboration and reconciliation. We are all treaty people.
