30 short years, beginning with the passion of a few dedicated individuals who made it their priority to ensure treaty rights were recognized, as those rights should be. Flipping through the pages of GTB’s history to the present, you’ll find the continuation of that dedication by the generations who followed through with that same purposeful mindset.

GTB has grown from a tiny heartbeat to a resounding thump, thump, thump in the presence of 2010!

Miigwetch to my grandparents and all the generations before and after who made sure GTB remained what it was meant to be!

Happy Federal Recognition day!
