Treaty 9

It is commonly known as the "James Bay Treaty," since the eastern edge of the treaty territory is the shore of James Bay in Northern Ontario. By the early 1900s, both federal and provincial governments were interested in taking control of lands around the Hudson and James Bay watersheds in northern Ontario - traditionally home to Cree, Oji-Cree, and Ojibway peoples. After nearly a year of delay from Ontario, in May 1905 both governments began negotiating in the terms of the treaty's written document. Although ratification of the treaty required the agreement of Indigenous peoples living in the territory, none of the Omushkegowuk and the Anishinaabe communities expected to ...
