Summary Excerpt Details

The community used in the essay is that found around the University campus of Trent University located in 1600 W Bank Drive, Peterborough, ON K9L OG2, Canada. Trent campus in Peterborough is one of the native territories of the Anishinaabe – a group of Indigenous people who are made up of the Odawa, Ojibwa, Potawatomi, Mississauga, Delaware, Chippewa, and Algonquin communities who had control of the Great Lakes Basin since the early periods of the 1600s. Before the land became known as Peterborough, the name of the area was Nogojiwanong, which means a place at the end of the rapids in the Ojibwa language. The language, which was widely spoken by the Indigenous people in the community, before replacement of the cultural and Indigenous language practices with Christianity and the English language, was Anishinaabemowin. Through the process of land claims and the treaties, the Curve Lake First Nation, Hiawatha First Nation, Mississaugas of Scugog First Nation and Alderville First Nation had established their communities in the Trent campus area. The various nations indicated above officially refer to themselves as the Mississaugas. The community we live in and the lands we live is a homeland to diverse and many Indigenous groups who continue to live in Canada. The main crux of the essay is to research the history of the community as a means of illuminating the Indigenous presence – both historical and contemporary. The essay explores the history of the whole group of the Anishanaabeg in Great Lakes and then delves into the Mississaugas of the Hiawatha First Nation, a sub-tribe of the Anishinaabe speaking First Nations. The essay starts with the history of Aboriginals.
