We Speak for the Land: A Summary Report of Discussions Under the Treaty Strategy

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.
