Treaty #9 100th Anniversary

It’s an historic day for aboriginals across Northern Ontario.
The Nishnawbe Aski Nation is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the
signing of Treaty #9.
The James Bay Treaty was signed during the summers of 1905-1906 and covers most of the North.
A special ceremony will be held in Osnaburgh near Pickle Lake at 10:30 Tuesday morning.
National NDP Leader Jack Layton and the Province’s Aboriginal Affairs
Minister David Ramsay are among the dignitaries taking part in festivities.
Dryden Mayor Anne Krassilowsky will also be attendance at the ceremony.
Krassilowsky says the City had always had great relations with Treaty
#9 and she says she’s proud to be involved with the signing.
