Treaties Recognition Week 2022
Greater Sudbury Public Library celebrates Treaties Recognition Week, November 6-12, 2022
Have you heard or seen the phrase, “We are all Treaty people”? Treaties Recognition Week is a great time to learn more about what this means for each of us and our communities.
What we now call Greater Sudbury is part of the Robinson-Huron Treaty territory. The Robinson-Huron Treaty territory stretches just past Sault Ste. Marie to the west, Pembroke in the east, Kirkland Lake in the north, and just north of Barrie to the south. There are 21 different First Nations within this area, including Atikameksheng Anishinabek, Wahnapitae First Nation and Sagamok First Nation, which are our nearest neighbours.
GSPL staff have created a resource list with books, media and websites for adults and children to learn more about Treaties and how they impact all of us.
GSPL will be sharing links and videos all week on our social media channels. Check them out, and learn more about what it means to be Treaty people!
