A Global Solution for the Six Nations of the Grand River

Phil Monture of Six Nations of the Grand River will be visiting the University of Waterloo to tell the story of his community and the Haldimand Treaty of 1784. The treaty covers lands for six miles on each side of the Grand River from Lake Erie to its source, including the University of Waterloo's campus. Monture, who has been researching this history for almost 40 years, will provide a historical overview of various land transactions and will discuss current Six Nations efforts in Canada and at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples to have the their land claim resolved.

This event is hosted by the Department of History and the Waterloo Aboriginal Education Centre at St. Paul's University College.
