We Are All Treaty People! Everyone who lives in the Haldimand Tract in Southwestern Ontario lives in relationship to the Grand River and it's watershed environment.
The territory of six miles on either side of the Grand River from the headwaters to Lake Erie are covered by the Haldimand Proclamation of October 25, 1784, as made by "Canada" and the Haudenosaunee to the benefit of people of of Six Nations and their posterity to enjoy forever.
All Canadians and all Haudenosaunee are directly engaged in this Treaty no matter where they reside.
This is the image around which we gathered for an intergenerational retreat in 2017. Rick Hill and Taylor Gibson were our key teachers for the retreat. They chose this image to centre us together and they offered the motif of "We. Them. Us."
This logo was created by Rick Hill for the churches of the Haldimand Tract Ecumenical Partnership to use in parallel with the logo of Six Nations Polytechnic.
This was an early teaching that brought the Haldimand Tract Ecumenical Partners together. This teaching reminds listeners that we are already in covenanted relationship together through the Two Row Wampum.
Being "Stronger Together" like "Bundled Arrows is another key teaching. In short, alone we are easier to break. Bundled together in ways that keep us from harming ourselves and each other, we keep our responsibilities, A united Good Mind is a fundamental principle in our belief systems.
