Original Toronto Star caption: Thirteen-year-old Michael Thomas reads the Two-Row Wampum Treaty; which is on display at the Iroquois Village near Oshweken. People of the Six Nations Confederacy at Osheweken have been told in an Ontario Supreme Court decision that the system of elected council set up by the federal government in 1924 is invalid. Many feel that the council of hereditary chiefs that the council replaced almost 50 years ago should be returned to power now. This decision has brought fear to both sides that open fueds between supporters of the two systems will be renewed.

Toronto Public Library recognizes that the term "Indians", used in subject headings such as "Indians of North America", is offensive to many people. Although we currently maintain these headings to adhere to descriptive standards used by libraries worldwide, we and other Canadian libraries are working to replace them with ones that are acceptable to Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
