Since Europeans arrived on these shores, roads have been built to brings settlers across the country, connect them with resources to create industry and ultimately to establish a nation. Many of these interconnecting networks are called Colonization Roads. For Indigenous peoples, these roads embody a powerful and ironic reality; colonization is still so powerful we name our roads after it. Join Anishinaabe comedian Ryan McMahon as he travels across Ontario learning about Colonization Roads, how they have disposessed Indigenous peoples of land and access to traditional territories while creating space for settlers in the colonial experiment that has become Canada.
