Join us with Rick Hill as he explores the following:  What does it mean to have treaty relations with Indigenous nations in the modern era? Who are the inheritors of Treaty rights? What are the actual obligations of treaties? How would active manifestation of treaties change land tenure in Ontario?      Rick Hill is a Tuscarora of the Beaver Clan, residing at Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. He has taught in Native Studies at SUNY Buffalo, McMaster University and Six Nations Polytechnic. He is the former Assistant Director of Public Programs at the National Museum of the American Museum of the Smithsonian Institution.  He currently works at Mohawk College as Indigenous Innovations Specialist.
Join us with Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler and Treaty Researcher Luke Hunter as we discuss the stark inequalities that northern communities are faced with such as funding for education, access to basic services and how Canada continues to fail in fulfilling their treaty obligations.  We will also highlight the importance that educators across Ontario have to play in creating change.               Born in Sioux Lookout and raised in Muskrat Dam First Nation, Grand Chief Fiddler studied Business Management at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta.  Elected Grand Chief of NAN in 2015, he is responsible for implementing the mandates directed by Chiefs of 49 First Nations across Northern Ontario, including 34 remote fly-in communities. His dedication and diligence to meeting the challenges to fight for economic and social equality for First Nation communities has rightly earned him the respect of members of Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities across Canada. He attributes his successful career to the loving support of his wife Tesa and 2 children.        Luke Hunter is the Director of Governance and Treaty Implementation at Nishnawbe Aski Nation and has been with the organization for more than 26 years. He is a member of the Weenusk First Nation and resides in Timmins, Ontario. Mr. Hunter is an expert in Indigenous law, treaties, Indigenous rights, and land claims. He was involved and presented evidence on several key legal proceedings. He has appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committees on Aboriginal Affairs related to Specific Claims Tribal Act and policy reviews.
Some 70 Treaties between First Nations and governments of the Crown made possible the peaceful settlement of Canada, and pledged to respect the safety and sovereignty of the peoples who were willing to share their lands with newcomers. Yet, despite being instituted as supreme law in Canada's Constitution Act of 1982, Treaty principles are being violated every single day by the very country that proclaimed their legal supremacy.   Maurice Switzer, Bnesi, is a citizen of the Mississaugas of Alderville First Nation.  He currently serves on the board of the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre and the Nipissing University Indigenous Council on Education. Maurice is the author of "We are all Treaty People", a graphic novel with some 15,000 copies in distribution, "Nation to Nation: A resource on treaties in Ontario", and "Grandpa, what is a treaty, anyway?" He has served as an adjunct professor of Indigenous Studies on the Laurentian University campus, director of communications for the Assembly of First Nations and Union of Ontario Indians, and publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press.
