From Toronto’s original inhabitants, their struggles and resistance to colonialism, to the creation of today’s Indigenous community in the city. Get to know Tkarón:to.
Explore the map from the comfort of your home or take a self-guided tour along the route to learn about the Indigenous culture and communities that have lived in this city for thousands of years. Learn how Indigenous people helped shape the Toronto we know today.
This tour was developed by Heritage Toronto’s Indigenous Content Coordinator, Mnawaate Gordon-Corbiere, with the support of Miziwe Biik Aboriginal Employment and Training, Andrew and Sharon Himel and Family, and TD Bank and The Ready Commitment.
We are facing a real challenge as the pandemic threatens corporate and government funding and we are unable to host walking tours, the largest source of our in-person donations.
Your support is essential; not only to making it through the pandemic, but also to ensuring heritage has a strong voice when Toronto begins to rebuild. If you enjoyed this tour and would like to see more digital programming like it, please make a donation today.
