  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

    ROUGE · BLUFFER’S PARK · BALMY – KEW · WOODBINE · greatbeaches... great city, CHERRY · WARD’S ISLAND · TORONTO BEACHES PLAN TORONTO BEACHES PLAN CENTRE ISLAND · GIBRALTAR POINT · HANLAN’S POINT December January · SUNNYSIDE · 2009 EAST 2008 MARIE CURTIS PARK MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Revitalizing Toronto’s waterfront is a priority for all Torontonians. Ensuring that our beaches are clean and accessible is essential to making that revitalization happen. As places to play and enjoy nature, they contribute to and enhance the quality of life in Toronto. Because of the tremendous importance of beaches, it’s not surprising that Toronto is so focused on creating great public spaces along the waterfront and making our beaches more swimmable. As Founding Chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, I know that communities within this region are taking steps to improve their beaches. As Canada’s biggest city, we must lead by example. I’m proud that Toronto was the first community in Canada to certify its swimming beaches under the international Blue Flag program. The Blue Flag has now been raised at six of our beaches. This is a great start, but we shouldn’t be satisfied until all of our beaches are certified – and until every beach is open for swimming every day during the summer. We’ve made great progress over the past five years in improving Toronto’s beaches. The Toronto Beaches Plan lays out the actions needed to make our beaches cleaner, safer, more usable, more accessible and greener. It’s a broad agenda, ranging from water quality to amenities to programming.
