The Band

Mississauga is signatory to the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850 and resides within its traditional territory. The community is located at the mouth of the river which shares its name, The Mississaugi. Spoken in the Anishnaabemowin language it is Misswezhaging, which means "many outlets". Although the community is located within the "reserve" boundary, the Traditional Territory extends towards the Huron Watershed. Mississauga ancestors and current Mississauga's travel the extent of the Mississaugi River utilizing its abundant resources.
