For the 7th annual Treaties Recognition Week in Ontario, it's a time to reflect and get educated about the agreements made between Indigenous communities and the Crown, and their long-lasting implications.
Treaties Recognition Week is being observed across the province this week with the expectation that Ontario students and residents learn more about Indigenous treaty rights and relationships with the provincial government. In Windsor, York University professor Alan Corbiere is delivering a presentation at the University of Windsor's Leddy Library.
A children's book shortlisted for a 2021 Governor General's Literary Award was written by a University of Guelph associate professor who specializes in the history of Indigenous Peoples and illustrated by an Ojibway multidisciplinary artist.
