For this week's challenge, we continue to build on the theme of a sustainable holiday season. In a shameless plug, please check out the ELB blog post, which gives new and constructive ways to be more green for the holidays.

I recorded this episode on the Williams Treaty, signed in 1923 by 7 Anishnaabe First Nations. The closest community to me is the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. This region is the traditional territory of the Anishnaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples, which they shared peacefully under the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today, it is still home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples.
