LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Forty Lemons Collective is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba located within the traditional stolen lands of the Anishinabe (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota, and is the Birthplace of the Métis Nation and the Heart of the Métis Nation Homeland. We acknowledge there are ceremonies, protocols and ways of knowing, doing, and healing that are specific to pregnancy loss, infant loss and babies born to spirit that originate with the Indigenous people of this land - carried and continued through Indigenous birth workers, midwives, doulas, knowledge keepers and Elders. In the work that we do supporting families, we are cognizant of the oppressive colonial systems that have lead to generational trauma through stolen children, residential schools, forced sterilization and systemic racism. In acknowledging the historical and present-day harms done to Indigenous women, men, children, and families, we are committed to providing inclusive, non-discriminatory support and to honour the history of the First Nations peoples that originated on these lands.

let’s chat.
