BU researcher tracks down Treaty No. 2 landmarkBrandon University News: August 19, 2016
"Despite being mostly forgotten, a local landmark continues to play an important role in defining treaty relationships in Canada, says a Brandon University (BU) researcher who is working on a documentary about the Grand Rapids of the Assiniboine River.
Tom Mitchell, Archivist Emeritus at BU, says that the Rapids, including the Landing downstream of them and the Crossing upstream, were natural landmarks in an era before railroads and then highways spread across the Prairies, and the Crossing was key marker in delineating the borders of Treaty No. 1 and Treaty No. 2, which includes the city of Brandon."
