My name is Moonias. I was a chief of the Fort Hope band of Anishiinaabe First Nations people when I signed Treaty Nine in 1905. At that time, our people were poor and weak. Many of us were sick from the diseases brought by the Europeans. The fur trade had wiped out most of the animals we relied on for food and clothing. We needed food, we needed medicine. We had to turn to the government for help.

So the government offered to help, but said we had to sign their Treaty first. All my life I have had to earn my way. It seemed strange that by signing the treaty, we would receive gifts and money from the government without having to give anything in return.

Now, so many years later, we know that our land was taken from us and their laws were forced upon us. Without our own laws, we do not have a say in how our children are educated, we do not benefit from the richness of our lands, and we may disappear as a people.

I will send you on a quest. You will have six goals to achieve.
Now, walk with me, On the Path of the Elders.
