Sault College to host virtual talk on Indigenous treaties

Sault College will host a virtual talk about Indigenous treaties Wednesday afternoon as part of Treaties Recognition Week. 

Mother-daughter duo Patricia and Juliana Lesage will give a presentation on the Robinson-Huron Treaty while exploring the treaty-making process, treaty relationships and the impacts of treaties today. 

The Lesages, who are described as activists, researchers and educators, are members of Batchewana First Nation. 

The Robinson-Huron Treaty was signed by Anishinaabe chiefs  and Crown representative William Robinson in Bawaating (present-day Sault Ste. Marie) September 9, 1850. 

The virtual session will take place Nov. 3 at 3:30 p.m. via Zoom.
