Blue Mountains Public Library is screening Trick or Treaty? directed by Alanis Obomsawim, one of the most acclaimed Indigenous directors in the world, during Treaties Recognition Week. This film explores Treaty No. 9, a 1905 agreement between First Nations peoples in northern Ontario and the Crown. The Crown considers Indigenous sovereignty surrendered, while the descendants of the Cree signatories contend that the treaty is not upheld.
