Symposium reflects on “the great robbery” By Richard Turtle
News - Belleville - A day-long symposium exploring land use issues, from both First Nations and settler perspectives, offered a historical and social view of the local area and the resulting changes that followed the arrival of the first immigrants from Europe. Held at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre and organized by the Deseronto Archives Board and Commu-
nity Archives of Belleville and Hastings County, the Saturday information session, dubbed The Land that Supports our Feet, was attended by about 100 people, much to the delight of organizers. Deseronto Archives Board Chair Paul Robertson says the response was excellent both in numbers and participation. Attendance alone, he says, topped their highest expectations. Beginning at 9 a.m. last Saturday,
the Symposium included registrations, introductions, a keynote address, readings from archival material, a panel discussion and group activities encouraging reflection and discussion And that, says Robertson, along with promoting the importance of preserving the past, was the original intention. It was a notably low-tech session, lacking any elaborate visual displays, charts and graphs and that too was by
design. Participants, he says, were truly engaged throughout, whether listening to the panel, offering input or discussing issues among themselves. Archivist Amanda Hill explains the symposium was intended as an information session to spark further discussion and foster understanding among all Canadians. Open to the pubic and supported by several groups including the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Hastings County Historical Society and the Town of Deseronto, the free session included a Blanket Exercise where a portion of the floor representing Turtle Island, or North America, was covered with blankets. Nearly all in attendance removed their shoes to participate in the exercise that saw the landmass slowly shrink as populations shifted and died in the wake of European settlement.
Later, a panel discussion and question and answer session followed with panellists Mark Brinklow, Mark Bossio, Ed File, Amanda Hill, and Keith Sero along with Panel Chair Marlene Brant Castellano who replaced author and professor John S. Milloy who was unable to attend. And intertwined with the land use issues of today were practices from the past, condoned by governments, to assimilate or annihilate the native population, place a cash value on the land and determine the needs of the people now on it. For many in attendance, it was an eye-opening session worthy of further study and attention. It was a grievous situation, offered one registrant during the question and answer session, “but how the hell are we going to deal with that [grief]?” In response Brant Castellano,
an Officer of the Order of Canada and described as “a bridge between cultures,” noted that in order for all parties to heal, the whole story, including an understanding of residential schools, treaties and the deliberate and successful attempts to spread disease and malnutrition, “has to be told and retold again.” She then, light-heartedly, asked Hill for her perspective as “the beneficiary of the great robbery.” “That’s one reason we’re here today,” noted Hill, “… to mend those bridges.” Panellist Bossio, who confessed to knowing little of First Nations culture or history before arriving in the area nearly 20 years ago, says he has learned a great deal in the interim and his role, and the role of all those in attendance, is to encourage others “to become educated and become educators.”
