The practicum is a discussion of western laws, policies, and agreements that have altered connections and relationships to the land within the context of the internally displaced community of Lake St. Martin in Manitoba's Interlake Region. It is important to acknowledge that there are a multitude of laws, policies and agreements that exist within Provincial and Federal jurisdictions and that the practicum begins to provide an overview of the complexities of these relative to Indigenous communities in Manitoba and the land. The Indigenous reserve of Lake St. Martin First Nation, in the Interlake Region of Manitoba is the focus of the practicum work. In the Spring of 2011, the Government of Manitoba diverted flood water to Lake Manitoba and then to Lake St. Martin. This artificial diversion saturated much of the original reserve land of Lake St. Martin First Nation and has continued to displace members to this day. The practicum identifies a pattern of displacement through case study analysis and seeks to consider how to move forward in a spirit of reconciliation through the lens of a student in landscape architecture.
