Miigwech to Chief Donna Big Canoe, her Council and community of Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation for offering to host us all this week. It’s exciting to bring Grand Council to one of our island communities, and a most beautiful one at that, as we experience a flavour for what island life entails. We are on the right track as we continue to move forward. An annual report is a reflection of the achievements and milestones that have occurred over the past year. As Grand Council Chief, while I have been on a learning curve this past year, together with excellent staff and confident, astute leadership who continue to convey very clearly what our priorities are, we have made progress on a number of key initiatives mandated by your Grand Council resolutions. Much like a relay, a baton of responsibilities was passed by former Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee. His advice has been welcome and I know he, like many of our past Grand Council Chiefs, remains a steadfast champion of our nation. The transition to an enhanced executive this past year has provided great opportunity for our regions to work more collaboratively with the support of dedicated Regional Deputy Council Grand Chiefs and Lake Huron Chair to facilitate your regional interests and priorities and provide responsive advocacy in a timely manner. It has been a new learning curve for us as we navigate this enhanced system and I can attest to the busy schedules that your regional DGCCs/Chair are involved with in balancing their regional workload, as well as the Anishinabek Nation Clan Portfolio function and responsibilities as per our three-year strategic plan. The departmental updates you will see in this document are indicative of excellent staff we are fortunate to have recruited and retained over the years. On behalf of Leadership Council, I would like to commend the Anishinabek Nation staff who support us all in the work on behalf of our 40 First Nations with passion, incredible dedication and technical expertise. I make special mention Gary Dokis who has been our Chief Operating Officer for several years and who leaves us July 5th to start a new chapter in his life. Under his excellent watch, our ship has travelled and navigated some turbulent passages but has achieved successful arrival to the journey charted by our astute leadership. Work well done Gary and on behalf of the Anishinabek Nation I convey our gratitude. I invite you to review this Annual Report in it’s entirety. We all work for you. We strive to advance opportunities as mandated by Anishinabek Nation leadership through Grand Council Resolutions. On behalf of the staff and Anishinabek Nation Executive, miigwech for your confidence and support. We hope we do you proud!

  • The First Nations
    Our First Nations Neighbours Peter Jones - c1845 According to several accounts, the first European to travel through Rice Lake was Samuel de Champlain about 1615. But... Artifacts from a 1974 archaeological dig on Rice Lake’s Sugar Island are on display in the Alderville Community Centre. They point to the existence of human settlement in this area about 1000-1500 years ago, or during the Middle Woodland Period. While all Canadians can join in the celebration of 150 years since four provinces formed the Dominion of Canada, First Nations can look back over a much longer history on these lands. The current residents of Alderville First Nation, on the south shore of Rice Lake, have a rich heritage. Wars between the various native tribes in southern Ontario and the northern American states, wars between the French and the English, changing alliances between all four, and various treaties were the story of the 1600s, 1700s and early 1800s. They all set the stage for the more recent story of our native community. At the time of the American Revolution (1775) people of the Mississauga nation were living in this area. As settlers continued to pour in from the United States, the Mississauga’s traditional semi-nomadic way of life was increasingly under threat. The landscape was changing, and the Mississauga were gradually pushed from their traditional hunting grounds. “The establishment of farms and additional settlements in the decades to follow disrupted the Mississauga’s fishing and hunting... Many Indians were hungry for new religious guidance, since their old religion seemed incapable of protecting them.” “I cannot suppose for a moment that the Supreme Disposer has decreed that the doom of Donald Smith, Sacred Feathers the red man is to fall and gradually disappear, like the mighty wilderness, before the axe of the European settler” – Peter Jones.
