Mississauga First Nation, or Misswezhaging, gives formal notice, via Chief and Council and through its Constitution and as a signatory of the Robinson Huron Treaty that we retain unhindered access and jurisdiction over its Traditional Territory. This notice is for all Governments, Ministries, Municipalities, and Non-government Organizations that fall within Mississauga First Nations Traditional Territory.
​
​ In 1850, Crown Commissioner Robinson negotiated with the Anishinabek, two treaties at Sault Ste. Marie, now known as the Robinson Huron and Robinson Superior Treaties. In the Robinson Huron Treaty, it outlines that Ponekeosh and his Band would be reserved the land contained between the River Mississagi and the River Penebewabecong, up to the first rapids.

Mississauga First Nation signed such agreements as a Sovereign Nation. As Mississauga Nation has historically done in the past with other such agreements, such as the One Dish One Spoon Treaty with the Haudenosaunee or the Treaty of Niagara with the English Crown. In each of these, the Crown recognized the Mississauga Nation as an independent Nation in the agreement. Mississauga First Nation has never surrendered rights to access or use the resources within its Traditional Territories. The Robinson-Huron Treaty Phase 1 decision on December 21, 2018, noted that the crown was required to top up payments based on resources extracted over the past 150 years and failed to do so.
​
Mississauga First Nation recognizes its members' rights and access to their Traditional Territory. Mississauga First Nation allows any members access to hunting, fishing, or gathering that is done according to Mississauga tradition and customs. This includes, but is not limited to, building a permanent or non-permanent structure within our traditional territory to either hunt, trap, fish, or gather, as per Mississauga tradition (Dowenjigen Policy).
