WELCOME

In the museum, your classroom can explore a variety of different exhibits that highlight significant aspects of Anishinaabe culture.

These informative displays provide a comprehensive overview of the Anishinaabe people, covering key elements such as their rich history, unique language, and traditional lands that hold great importance to their heritage.

1. The introductory exhibit offers a comprehensive overview of the Anishinaabe people and Akiing, “the land to which the people belong.”

2. The second exhibit showcases Rabbett Strickland's Renaissance-style painting of Anishinaabe oral history and ancient beings.

3. The third exhibit showcases Anishinaabe treaties with Indigenous nations, the United States, and the British Crown, highlighting the context of these treaties.

4. The largest exhibit highlights Anishinaabe treaty rights today and the Water Protector Movements of both Anishinaabe and Lakota lands, following the struggles of the Dakota Access Pipeline and Enbridge Line 3.

Anishinaabe cultural guides can lead students through the museum, providing insights into all of these historical and cultural stories of the Anishinaabe people of this land.

We believe that by immersing your students in the vibrant world of the Giiwedinong Treaty Rights and Culture Museum, we can collectively contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society. We look forward to welcoming your classroom and communities to our museum and embarking on this educational adventure together.

Tours are available on weekdays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at a $5 fee per student, teacher, and/or chaperone.
