Free admission. Please register in advance.
Join us at Macaulay Heritage park for a special presentation by Author Brian Beaver. Picton and the surrounding area is the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) people. They moved to Alderville First Nation in Alnwick Township (south shore of Rice Lake) in 1837. Brian will speak about the history of the Mississauga people and his book "Alderville First Nation...A History". Brian will be signing books which will be available for purchase for $20 (cash or e-transfer).
Brian graduated from Fleming College in Peterborough. He retired from the federal Public Service in Ottawa after 35 years (Canadian Human Rights Commission). Brian's articles have appeared in the Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen and Buffalo News.
We acknowledge that Prince Edward County rests within the ancestral lands and waters stewarded by the Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg (Mississauga), Huron Wendat, and Haudenosaunee. This is a place shaped by their presence, languages, and care since time immemorial. To acknowledge this land is to recognize our responsibility to live as good relatives with each other, with the earth, and with the generations yet to come.
