Please join us for a talk by Phil Monture on Wednesday September 27, 4:30-5:50 at the Waterloo Aboriginal Education Centre.

A Global Solution for the Six Nations of the Grand River
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 4:30-5:50 AT THE WATERLOO ABORIGINAL EDUCATION CENTRE


Phil Monture of Six Nations of the Grand River will be returning to 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 <http://uwaterloo.ca/stpauls/waterloo-aboriginal-education-centre> Aboriginal Education Centre<https://uwaterloo.ca/stpauls/waterloo-aboriginal-education-centre> at St. Paul's University College.

I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territories of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishnaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University of Waterloo is situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised to Six Nations, which includes six miles on each side of the Grand River.
