The 2014 Ontario Budget and the mandate letter to the then Minister of Aboriginal Affairs committed to moving forward with a Treaty Strategy that would, among other things, retivalize treaty relationships. In response, the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation engaged an independent Indigenous facilitator to lead forum discussions with Indigenous peoples across Ontario, inviting members from Indigenous communities and organizations to share their perspectiveson treaties. The facilitators took handwritten notes and produced a facilitator’s report, from which this report was written. This report summarizes what was expressed at the treaty forums and can be used as a discussion tool; it represents a master summary of community voices and includes additional resources and teaching tools created by Indigenous partners or through partnerships with the Government of Ontario.

A brief interview with John B Zoe, a Tłı̨chǫ citizen from Behchokǫ̀, was a chief negotiator of the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement in 2005. The interview provides context about the signing of Treaty 11 and is helpful for hearing proper pronunciation of place names. The setting is an exhibit in Yellowknife's Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, tracing 100 years since the 1921 signing of Treat 11. Among the items shown in the interview and in the exhibit are Chief Monfwi's treaty jacket, a copy of the treaty, and the Tłı̨chǫ treaty medal The Treaty 11 – 100 Years exhibit, staged by the museum, the Tłı̨chǫ Government and Tłı̨chǫ citizens, traces the history and impacts of the treaty in the Tłı̨chǫ region, where it was signed by Chief Monfwi on August 22, 1921.

Description taken from the NFB: "Covering a vast swath of northern Ontario, Treaty No. 9 reflects the often contradictory interpretations of treaties between First Nations and the Crown. To the Canadian government, this treaty represents a surrendering of Indigenous sovereignty, while the descendants of the Cree signatories contend its original purpose to share the land and its resources has been misunderstood and not upheld. Enlightening as it is entertaining, Trick or Treaty? succinctly and powerfully portrays one community’s attempts to enforce their treaty rights and protect their lands, while also revealing the complexities of contemporary treaty agreements. Trick or Treaty? made history as the first film by an Indigenous filmmaker to be part of the Masters section at TIFF when it screened there in 2014."

From the earliest settler policies to deal with the “Indian problem,” to contemporary government-run programs ostensibly designed to help Indigenous people, public policy has played a major role in creating the historical trauma that so greatly impacts the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Taking Back Our Spirits traces the link between Canadian public policies, the injuries they have inflicted on Indigenous people, and Indigenous literature’s ability to heal individuals and communities. Episkenew examines contemporary autobiography, fiction, and drama to reveal how these texts respond to and critique public policy, and how literature functions as “medicine” to help cure the colonial contagion. * 2009 Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for Scholarly Writing; 210 Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for First Peoples’ Writing
