VIDEO: Huskies athletes put personal spin on pre-game land acknowledgements

Huskie Alyssa D'Agnone says writing a land acknowledgment taught her about Indigenous culture.
You want a bold prediction from me on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers without Matt Nichols?
They’ll still win.
Sorry, maybe that’s not bold, but I’m seeing too many people all of a sudden write off the Bombers after hearing Nichols will be out for six weeks or more.
They’re too good and too deep of a team.
Plus, we’ve seen the Riders win with Cody Fajardo. The Stampeders have won with Nick Arbuckle. The same goes for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Dane Evans, and Vernon Adams Jr. has taken off after Antonio Pipkin went down in Montreal.
Chris Streveler had many in Rider Nation wanting Saskatchewan to try to make a deal with the Bombers’ backup to be the next one here.
Will the Bombers win nearly 70 per cent of their final nine games? Likely not. But they definitely aren’t going to fall off the map without Nichols, who by no means is putting up MOP numbers this season.
It’s a blow to the Bombers, sure. But look for Winnipeg to continue along the road to ending their near 30-year Grey Cup drought.
