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.
More information on the event can be found on Facebook.
Meanwhile, Ontario has released a schedule of other virtual talks slated for Treaties Recognition Week, which takes place Nov. 1-7.
