Huron-Wendat. The Anishnaabek include the Odawa [Oh-DAH-wah], Ojibwe [O-jib-we]

Williams Treaties First Nations. The Huron-Wendat Nation also continues to pay respect
and protect their ancestors and heritage on this land. We honour the Indigenous history

all Treaty People. Our commitment begins with acknowledging the Truth so that we can
move forward together towards Reconciliation.
