Society & Culture


The lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Sir Francis Bond Head, put an end to Anderson’s assimilation activities at Manitowaning and put his own plans into action. Bond Head wrote up what came to be known as the Treaty of 1836 – a document for which he neither sought the sanction of the British government nor followed proper protocols.
