*Broadcast: March 22, 2012; December 19 , 2011* * * George MacMartin's Big Canoe Trip In 1905, *George MacMartin*, Treaty Commissioner for Ontario, accompanied by federal commissioners and native guides, journeyed through rapids and hiked through the wilds to meet with First Nations leaders. The result was James Bay Treaty Nine. The treaty put northern Ontario into Canadian hands, but First Nations' tradition is clear: their leaders agreed to share the land, not give it away. *Christopher Moore*, historian and winner of a 2011 Governor General's Literary Award, explores what the diary by George MacMartin reveals, and what it means today. Produced by *Sara Wolch*.
