The University of Manitoba History Students’ Association (UMHiSA), in conjunction with the University of Manitoba History Graduate Students’ Association (UMHGSA), stand in solidarity and give our support to Indigenous communities across campus and Turtle Island.

UMHiSA and UMHGSA are not interested in stifling debate or restricting speech. We value the study of voices of dissent throughout History. Together, we are concerned about amplifying voices that dehumanize others and create unsafe conditions for UM students, staff, and faculty, as well as community members. The UM campuses should be spaces where students and staff can feel safe learning, debating and exchanging ideas.

To our Indigenous neighbours, friends, classmates, and community members: this person does not define the views of all settlers. We see you and we stand with you. In the end, love will win. Stay strong. Please take care of yourselves, and make use of the resources available, should you need them:

• Residential School Survivor Support Line, 1-866-925-4419
• UM Indigenous Students Services Centre, [email protected], 204-474-8850

In solidarity,

University of Manitoba History Students’ Association (UMHiSA)

University of Manitoba Graduate Students’ Association (UMHGSA)
