RHW is an initiative undertaken by the 21 First Nations of the Robinson Huron Treaty to create a treaty-level body capable of addressing many issues that have, until this time, been addressed within Canadian government-created agencies and systems of governance. The goal is to develop a collective Anishinaabe decision-making body processing the interests and inherent rights of our people's interests and inherent rights. We recognize that the Treaty helps protect our inherent rights and can build on the strength of this collective to enhance and foster health and wellness for our people.
RHW also conducts treaty-based research, facilitates community engagement in Robinson Huron Treaty communities on treaty-related matters, and develops treaty education tools, including detailed use and occupancy research of the treaty area.
"...and to fish in the waters thereof, as they heretofore been in the habit of doing.”
- Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850
The Robinson Huron Treaty Litigation Fund’s work continues to find resolution to the 1850 Robinson Huron Treaty annuities case that serves the best interest of our communities.
In spring, Anishinaabek ancestors held ceremonies to express gratitude for renewal of life. They harvested maple sap and engaged in letting go ceremonies, fostering forgiveness and new growth. Harvesting migratory birds and foraging for foods and medicines also marked the season, highlighting the intimate connection between Anishinaabe identity and the land.
Recognizing MNO's rights risks displacing First Nations' rights and reducing consultation and funding. The impacts could be catastrophic for indigenous communities in Alberta, Ontario, and Saskatchewan
