Local #Indigenous peoples of Waterloo Region include (but are not limited to) Anishinaabe Peoples, Neutral Peoples and Haudenosaunee Peoples. 
#Haudenosaunee Peoples (People of the Longhouse) is made up of the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas and the Tuscaroras, and was intended as a way to unite the nations and create a peaceful decision making. Haudenosaunee are united by a common goal to live in harmony.
Described as the oldest, participatory democracy on Earth, the Haudenosaunee constitution has inspired many forms of democracy across the world. Law, society & nature are equal partners & each play an important role. The largest reserve in North America is the @SixNationsGR.
Excited for the next session of the #Indigenous History Conference today! Starting shortly.
.@PauletteSteeves is up first to discuss "Reclaiming and Reviving Deep Indigenous Histories on Turtle Island". Steeves is Cree-Metis first, researcher and archaeologist second.
Steeves: Location is critical to an Indigenous research paradigm. Research is ceremony framed in respect and reciprocity. Stories lay the foundational framework of Indigenous sovereignty and material ground.
Second panel at today's #Indigenous History Conference is on colonization in America and features Lisa Brooks (Abenaki), Marjorie O'Toole, Tyler Rogers (Narragansett), and Jason Mancini. #indigenoushistory @Plymouth_400
Lisa Brooks: What true history is buried beneath the narratives? It is emerging through the work of many people, including those we've heard this weekend. Discusses Weetamoo of the fertile land of the Pocasset in Wampanoag Territory.
Brooks: Native women planted fields in the area, they were leaders. Colonizers tried to say the lands weren't settled but they were. King Phillips War was one against women and their planting fields.
Hi #NativeTwitter & #twitterstorians!
Instead of essays, my #IndigenousHistory students are writing Wikipedia articles this term. It'd be great to create content people want.
What pre-1850 Indigenous person, event, or trend would you like to see a Wikipedia entry for?

Thank you so much for your ideas, suggestions, and pointers (for the ones already made and those that are still coming in)! I'm a bit overwhelmed but certainly delighted there has been so much interest, and I will definitely make sure to tweet students' work when it's complete.
I'm borrowing this idea from @JeremyJierong, who co-wrote with a student about their class' experience of writing Wikipedia entries. Helping students make their work mean something in the world is very appealing, and has lots of pedagogical potential. historians.org/publications-a…
