À propos

Explore the history of the lands in the Oakville area from an Indigenous perspective. As you enter the trail take a moment to acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples who travelled through this region over the last 11,000 years.

In the traditional teachings of both the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse), this Inspiration Journey follows the elements of their Thanksgiving Address and traditional teachings in which we acknowledge and express our collective appreciation for what the Creation provides for us. In addition to the Creator and his Spirit Helpers, both the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee as do many First Nations, give thanks for the People, Mother Earth, Water, Plant Life, Fruits, Medicines, Fish, Trees, Birds, Four Winds, Grandfather Thunder, Elder Brother the Sun, Grandmother Moon, and the Stars. Follow the Moccasin trails to discover the teachings of the Anishinaabe and the passages of the Thanksgiving Address of the People of the Longhouse. The Moccasin Trails feature a series of 13 plaques containing Indigenous stories, verses and information relating to the land, water and sky, giving everyone a deeper understanding of Indigenous heritage. The content for the plaques was developed in partnership with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Indigenous community members.

There are two trails:

1. Follow the Moccasin Trail along Sixteen Mile Creek Inner Valley, Dundas Street West at Lions Valley. There will be 13 trail signs to read along your walk.

2. There is a Kiosk at the corner of Rebecca and Mississaga Street. Start at the kiosk and follow the trail along Bronte Creek. There will be 13 trail signs to read along your walk. The walk ends just before the Lakeshore Road West Bridge.
