MCFN Does NOT provide "Land Acknowledgements" or "Land Acknowledgement Ceremonies" (there is no such thing as a land acknowledgement ceremony)

We simply provide organizations the contact and introductions to elders, dancers and singers to provide traditional openings and welcoming remarks.

Land Acknowledgements should come from your organization and NOT from the First Nation. Should you require further information on our land acknowledgement please click on this link: https://mncfn.ca/treaty-lands-territory/treaty-lands-and-territory-recognition-statements/
