About

Join the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts in celebrating Indigenous heritage and culture while creating a visual reminder to recognize and honour the past. The Moccasin Identifier promotes the advancement of Treaty and Indigenous awareness, aiding in the development of a deeper understanding of Treaties and Indigenous relationships to the land.

The Moccasin Identifier Project was developed by Carolyn King in partnership with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The moccasin designs were researched and drawn by artist Philip Cote.

Town of Oakville

The Town of Oakville is located on Treaty 14 and 22 lands, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Since the 1800s, it has become one of the most coveted areas to live and work in Ontario with 225,000 residents calling Oakville home. The town offers all the advantages of a well-serviced urban centre with first-rate facilities and amenities, while also maintaining its small-town feel.
