Treaties Recognition Week

"We are all Treaty People." During the week of November 1-7th in Ontario is Treaties Recognition Week. This week, we

recognize the importance of treaties and bring awareness to the treaty relationships between Indigenous and non-

Indigenous people in the province. There are 46 treaties in Ontario and we all have a responsibility to honour the treaties.

We know from the land acknowledgment that York Region District School Board is located on two separate treaties: Treaty

13 and The Williams Treaties. Understanding the history of these treaties is essential to understanding our own relationship

with this land. Returning to a meaningful Treaty relationship offers Canadians a way to make reconciliation a concrete

action. Indigenous traditions, ways of life, and the richness of their Languages provide us with the roadmap.

To learn more about Treaty 13 and The Williams Treaties visit the resources below:
