  • Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement at a Glance
    The Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement At a Glance ANISHINABEK NATION GOVERNANCE AGREEMENT OVERVIEW For more than 25 years, the Anishinabek Nation and the Government of Canada have been negotiating the proposed Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement that will recognize, not create, the Anishinabek First Nations’ law-making powers and authority to self-govern, thus removing them from the governance provisions of the Indian Act. The First Nations that ratify the proposed Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement (Participating First Nations) will have the power to enact laws in the following areas: leadership selection, citizenship, language and culture, and operation of government. The proposed Anishinabek Nation Governance Agreement includes the complementary Anishinabek Nation Fiscal Agreement that outlines the funding for governance-related functions.

    Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre Algoma Unviersity Lake Huron First Nations Robinson Huron Treaty (1854) Territory Photo Album Display Purposes Only – Do Not Remove Introduction This photo album has been compiled by the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre. The Centre developed out of the work undertaken by the Shingwauk Project. The Project began in 1979 as a cross-cultural research and educational development project of Algoma University (AU) and the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association (CSAA). The Shingwauk Project and the CSAA have undertaken many activities since 1979 including reunions, healing circles, publications, videos, photo displays, curriculum development and the establishment of an archive, library and heritage collections, as well as a Shingwauk Directory and website. Over many years and in many ways these initiatives have been generously supported by Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments, churches, non-governmental organizations and private individuals. The desire of the Shingwauk Project to promote sharing, healing, and learning continues today through the work of the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre. 2 Conditions of Use and Acknowledgements This publication is for research purposes only.

  • The Manitoulin Phragmites Project Results of 2019 Work Compiled by Judith Jones, Project Coordinator, October 2019
    The Manitoulin Phragmites Project Results of 2019 Work compiled by Judith Jones, Project Coordinator, October 2019 Volunteers and Phrag Project team controlling Phragmites at Mud Bay, Cockburn Island Phragmites (“frag-MITE-eeze”) is a hugely tall, European grass that has been spreading aggressively on shorelines and in wetlands in our area. Phragmites can quickly grow into dense patches which eventually wipe out all other vegetation. It is a serious threat to property values, recreation, tourism, biodiversity, and aesthetics. Southern Ontario has lost hectares and hectares of beaches and other natural habitat to Phragmites. The Manitoulin Phragmites Project was started to make sure this does not happen here! We have just finished our 4th season of work on Manitoulin, Cockburn, and Great Duck Islands. You are receiving this letter because there is Phragmites on your property or in your jurisdiction, or because you have been involved with the project. We want you to know where the Phragmites is or was (page 4), what has been done, and how the results turned out. We also want to talk about the future to ensure we maintain what has been achieved. The work of the Project has been EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL! You can see some striking before and after photos on our Facebook page: Manitoulin Phragmites Project. On Manitoulin Island, all of the Lake Huron shore from South Baymouth to the Mississaugi Lighthouse is completely clear of Phragmites except the mouth of Blue Jay Creek and the bay east of Burnt Island. On Cockburn Island and Great Duck Island, all sand dune habitat is now clear of Phrag.
