Treaty Week Talk

The Paterson Library presents this year's Treaty Week Talk with the Deputy Grand Chief Bobby Narcisse of Nishinawbe Aski Nation (NAN).

This event's purpose is to shed light on the current impacts of Treaty 9 on NAN communities. Most people know the treaties as the historical contracts for which Canada obtained the lands the country was built on, but they are actually a nation-to-nation agreement. What are the current impacts the treaties have on NAN citizens? How do settler's uphold their end of the treaty relationship? What can settlers do to foster mino wiijidwedowin/good relations with NAN and support NAN governance in advocating for government to uphold the treaty relationship?
