The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this land,
specifically the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewa Tri-Council and the
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 and culture that has thrived for millennia in this territory and the
Treaties that bind us together as partners in the spirit of a shared sustainable and
