September 7th to 9th, 2023
Garden River Community Centre Ketegaunseebee Anishinaabeg
(Garden River FN)
The Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850 Gathering started as a way for the Treaty communities to exert their sovereignty over their traditional territory; gather strength and guidance from the ancestors; and, most importantly, raise awareness amongst Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities about the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850.
2023 marks the 173rd anniversary of the signing of the Robinson Huron Treaty. This year's Gathering will be held in Ketegaunseebe Anishinaabeg (Garden River First Nation) and will host approximately 500 participants, plus political leadership, Treaty experts and workshop presenters.
We encourage those who plan to attend the Gathering in-person to register for the event.
Each day, the first 500 pre-registered participants will receive a participant package and meal vouchers for that day. We will make all efforts to accommodate all participants.
