Peter Jones arrived at the Credit River Mission with his English I bride. It is difficult to imagine how the settle- ment must have looked when Eliza first saw it. The Government Inn at the river mouth, the solid oak and pine forest on each bank, and her new home in the Indian village two miles upstream no longer exist. Well over a century and a half have passed and urbanization is in full control: high rise apartments, A & Ws, gas sta- tions and power transmission lines. In excess of 25o,ooo people live in the area that several hundred Indians once claimed as theirs. The original inhabitants are gone and time has erased all but the tribe's name, dutifully preserved in the name of the Toronto suburb, Mississauga. A memorial to Eliza does not exist. A blue and gold historical marker erected by the Ontario Government indicates the site of the old Government Inn by the har- bour at the mouth of the Credit River. It was here at the river mouth in 18o5 and 1818 that the Mississauga sur- rendered what today is some of Canada's most valuable real estate, a huge tract of land of 2,ooo square miles Eliza Jones with an unidentified child.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.
