Month: October 2021

October 3rd is the 148th anniversary of Treaty #3. Our Treaty’s origin dates back to 1873 when the Ojibwe peoples and the Government of Canada signed Treaty 3, which provided the federal government access to the Saulteaux land in present-day northwestern Ontario and eastern Manitobain exchange for various goods and Indigenous rights to hunting, fishing and natural resources on reserve lands. The terms and text of Treaty 3 set precedents for the eight Numbered Treaties that followed.
