On the 203rd anniversary of Treaty 22, February 28th 2023, Debwewin: The Oakville Truth Project marked the date by sharing knowledge of local treaties from both a historical and Indigenous perspective. The report, Friendship, Peace and Respect For All Future Generations: Oakville-based treaty relations between the Mississaugas and the Crown is now available for free online and for sale in print with proceeds to support the Debwewin project.

These local Treaties are not one-time land transactions but signify the relationship between allies. They are meant to last and symbolize the allyship and reciprocity between the two nations: the Mississaugas and the Crown. The need to renew these Treaties that connect us as allies is incumbent on us all.
