The Township of Oro-Medonte acknowledges that we are situated on the traditional

Huron-Wendat. The Anishnaabek include the Odawa [Oh-DAH-wah], Ojibwe [0-jib-we]

Confederacy. It continues today as the home for diverse Indigenous Peoples including
the historic Metis Community in Penetanguishene.
The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this land,
