Skenon;

The village of Taiaiagon, was never a Mississauga village site.

As sited in Percy Robinson's , "Toronto During the French Regime" doesn't locate a Mississauga village on the old site of Taiaiagon. It actually locates a Mississaga village on the west Bank of the Humber River in 1788. The actual statement that the Mississauga chiefs in 1784 understood that they did not own the land or any Indigenous Entitlement to it is found in a prelude record, to the Haldimand Tract. Therefore the information that I have provided, has come from multiple reliable sources and resources. And as for Mississauga oral lore, I very seriously doubt that, as many of them have lost their way of knowing what their past has been. So therefore whether some academics share the same views or not is irrelavant to the facts, and facts that are proven with the test of time, through multiple archaeological excavations done in the Toronto area have yet to reveal any Mississauga burial sites, according the Ontario Ministry of Culture. So your so-called army of academics are far and few between, since you will not get the Ontario Ministry of Culture to agree with your bs Mississauga claims and this sites support of them. Also there are very archaeologists in the Toronto area if any that will also agree with your claims. It is well known, that Taiaiagon was a Seneca-Mohawk village, and also there is other information that I have chosen not share publicly, that also proves that there has been continuous occupation of the site since 9,000 BC. And all of these people are the ancestors of the Iroquoin language family and not Anishnawbek. Toronto is not the traditional homeland of Mississaugas. And that has been verified by many sources, even their own New Credit website, verifies that they came from up north. So by you saying sources are biased and not verified by academic resources, think again before you make such claims, because I can tell that many of your sources, have come from elementary library resources and very out dated materials, that many people no longer believe.

It seems you are just as guilty of jumping to conclusions. Reading the article, it does not say that "Teiaiagon" is/was an Anishinaabe village, but it does say that 1) their village was across the river, and 2) in the treaty period, they were the dominant Nation of the area.

Anyway, the Iroquoian peoples have had moved in and out of that area, where the village site itself have always been Iroquoian, but the village itself was not continuously occupied, though the area of the village have always have had human presence. You have to remember that the Iroquoian peoples were forced northward with the expansion of the Siouan peoples north and westward, forced southward with the expansion of the Algonquian peoples (specifically the ancestors of the the Council of Three Fires Nations) westward, forced again northward with the growth of the Algonquian peoples to the south (specifically the Shawnees and the Lenape peoples), moved south and east with the Mississauga expansion, and then "boxed in" through the treaty process of the British and the US, both with the Six Nations peoples and with other Nations surrounding the Six Nations. During each of the "north" movement periods, the Iroquoian peoples occupied the village site while during each of the "south" movement periods, other Nations respected the site and did not live there, though did make use of that trade-strategic site.

I have seen ample documentation that the Algonquins (another Anishinaabe Nation) were part of the Seven Nations, and that the Mississaugas and the Wendats had covenant of peace between them, but I have never seen any documentation that the Mississaugas were ever in protective relationship with the Five/Six Nations. Now, you do know of Wikipedia's WP:NPOV and of WP:Cite, well, the unfortunate part of Wikipedia is not truth but verifiability, so if you don't like what is currently there, please contribute positively by adding in in-line citations. In-line citations that can be verified will uphold any edits you make for the positive. CJLippert (talk) 06:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
