TREATIES RECOGNITION WEEK T


he first week of November was Trea- ties Recognition Week, but learning about treaties with your students


can happen any time of the year. Treaties are legally binding agreements that set out the rights, responsibilities and relationships of


First Nations and the federal and provincial governments. Ontario would not exist with- out treaties, and it is important for students and educators alike to understand these agreements better. Check out the excellent tools and resources available at etfofnmi.ca
