Indigenous Peoples know the river is alive. We are seeking legal personhood for the Thames River, or as it is known to the Anishinaabe, the Deshkan Ziibi, translated in English to Antler River. As a first step toward this goal, we are calling on the Province of Ontario to formally change the name of the river to the original Anishinaabe name: Deshkan Ziibi. This fund will support our efforts in writing the application, including a forum of community indivduals, the fees for this website, applying for additional funding, and more.
