commitment to reconciliation
We believe a reconciled Manitoba is one that is comfortable with truth telling. We know this is hard.
​
We believe reconciliation is driven by action and accountability. We don’t always know how to do this.
​
We listen to Indigenous voices and the communities with whom we work. We are learning.
​
We work with Indigenous people and communities in a way that supports self-determination. We adapt.
​
We build relationships and value different ways of knowing. We are better together.

what is OCAP and what does it mean to how we
work with communities?
Ownership, Control, Access and Possession (OCAP) principles, developed specifically for working with First Nations, Metis and Inuit Peoples, guide how we work with all people and communities. OCAP outlines how information must be “collected, protected, used, [and] shared” (FNIGC, 2021).
Ownership
In the same way that individuals own personal information, data or information is owned collectively by the community.
Control
Nations, communities, and representatives have the inherent right to seek and maintain control over all aspects of research and information management processes that impact them.
Access
People must have access to information about themselves and their communities and have the right to decide who has access to their collective information.
Possession
Possession is foundational to the other principles of ownership, control, and access; communities must have physical possession of their data.
