The Robinson Huron Treaty was entered into agreement on September 9, 1850, at Bawaating. The treaty was signed by Anishinaabe Chiefs, led by Chief Shingwaukonse, who inhabited the Northern Shore of Lake Superior from Batchawana Bay to Sault Ste. Marie, Ojibwe Chiefs who inhabited the eastern and northern shores of Lake Huron from Sault Ste. Marie to Penetanguishene, and The Crown who was represented by William Robinson.
This is sure to be an exciting, educational, and informative presentation and our community members are encouraged to join and learn.
In the 1850 Robinson Huron Treaty Territory, we are all treaty people.
