September 17th of 1924 marked the enforcement of an elected band council on Six Nations by Indian Affairs, lead by Duncan Campbell Scott. With the first election held on October 21st 1924.⁠
⁠
Forty years prior, in 1884, the Canadian government passed the Indian Advancement Act, allowing Indian Affairs to establish elected band councils in any Indigenous community without their consent. For the longest time, the government wasn’t concerned with intervening as they believed Six Nations was becoming advanced on its own.⁠
⁠
There were many challenges faced by the community which led to the division between those who supported the Confederacy Council and those who supported an elected system of governance (Band council). The impacts of the First World War and political and societal changes happening outside the community as well as loss of land, environmental degradation, changes in education and health care and, mismanagement of Six Nations Trust Fund by subsequent generations of colonial authorities were all in part to blame for this division.⁠
⁠
In 1906, The Indian Rights Association was formed, also known as the Dehorners and later the Loyalist Association. Their main goal was to remove the traditional hereditary chiefs from council. Many supporters were former students at the Mohawk Institute in Brantford and veterans of the First World War.⁠
⁠
Efforts led by Levi General (Deskaheh) on behalf of the Confederacy to have Six Nations recognized as a sovereign people at the League of Nations (now the United Nations), along with petitions and complaints from groups within the community who wanted to dismantle the Confederacy, lead the Department of Indian Affairs to intervene and impose an elected system.

We get asked all the time, "How can I help to support Truth and Reconciliation efforts?"⁠
⁠
Executive Director of Woodland Cultural Centre, Janis Monture, shares how you can do your part in supporting the Indigenous community today and every day moving forward. ⁠

Today is a time for reflection, for remembering and most importantly for learning the truths of residential schools in Canada. ⁠
⁠
Today is a day to honour the Survivors of the residential school system in this country and more importantly to not forget the many children who did not make it home. ⁠
⁠
Today is a day where you make it a mission to accomplish one of the 94 Calls to Action in your home, office or school. ⁠
⁠
Today shouldn’t be the only day you reflect, remember, and learn. ⁠
⁠
This should be done every day.⁠

What is Truth and Reconciliation Day? ⁠
⁠
On September 30th we recognize the legacy of Indian Residential Schools in Canada and honour the survivors and children who never made it home. ⁠
⁠
It is an opportunity for communities to heal from the impacts of intergenerational trauma and for Canadians to learn about this side of history that has been hidden for so long.⁠
⁠
Tips for Canadians on TRC Day: ⁠
-Read, learn and listen. ⁠
-Support Indigenous organizations, artists and non-profits. ⁠
-Do your own research to learn. ⁠
-Attend or volunteer at an Indigenous run event. ⁠
⁠
For more information about how you can support the Indigenous Community on Truth and Reconciliation day, please contact local Indigenous organizations.
