Excerpt: The long history of Indigenous peoples in the area of Montréal — known as Tiohtià:ke in Kanien'kéha (Mohawk) and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin — began some 5,000 years and is still unfolding today. Thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived on the island of Montréal, the area was already used by Indigenous people. They have remained a constant presence, accompanying successive waves of settlement, from the city’s development as a French colonial town through to its emergence, after the British conquest, as a major metropolis. Today, the Indigenous presence in Montréal remains vital, and traces of a rich Indigenous history abound for those who look closely.(Submitted on May 20, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
