Debwewin, Truth and Reconciliation Fund
Community, Community PrioritiesFundraising goal: $25,000
Debwewin: The Oakville Truth Project is a joint project between the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Oakville Community Foundation. “Debwewin” refers to one of the Anishinabek seven grandfathers teaching for “truth.”
This project will raise questions about Oakville’s Truth such as: “What happened to the local Treaty holders, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation?” and “Why did Treaty 22, which included coverage of Oakville main waterways, Sixteen Mile and Bronte Creek, leave the Mississaguas homeless?”
