Outcome of the War of 1812: First Nations Betrayed Exhibit Self-Guided Tour
Available to Richmond Hill School Groups September 23 to 26
From September 23-26, school groups are invited to take a self-guided tour of the Outcome of the War of 1812: First Nations Betrayed exhibit. Participants will explore the long-term consequences of the war through the experience of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN). Through stories of betrayal, respect, survival and renewal, the exhibit highlights the impact of key treaties, including the Toronto Purchase Treaty No. 13, which includes the land where Richmond Hill is located on. The exhibit is available in English, Anishinaabemowin (Ojibway) and French, and includes a replica tomahawk pipe, historical accounts, a 200-year timeline and more.
Please note that we are only able to accommodate a certain number of participants at a time due to the size of the exhibit room. Students/Teachers waiting to view the exhibit are invited to explore other exhibits showcasing the history of Richmond Hill, including a collection of historically significant artifacts from the early 19th century to the present, or enjoy Amos Wright Park, a beautiful landscaped historic park at the back of the Heritage Centre.
