The foundation of this commons is the framework of the 2 Row Wampum Treaty. In it, the Chiefs sought Peace, Friendship and Respect and asked that we might know each others Laws, Ways and Customs. This Cultural Commons is for First Peoples and Settlers of Turtle Island. It is an emerging space for making sense of our shared narratives including "We are all Treaty People" to "What will the impact of COVID19 be on our Societies?"
