For generations Indigenous people have gathered and lived on the territory where Waterloo is now situated. This piece of Turtle Island has deep connections to the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe and Neutral People. In 1701, the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe people created the Dish with One Spoon treaty, which marked the end of the Beaver Wars amongst themselves.(Submitted on April 2, 2024, by Tim Boyd of Hamilton, Ontario.)
