Is their grievance and land claim settled and resolved now? Or do they still claim land that is part of the City of Toronto or the Toronto Islands?--69.196.188.171 (talk) 23:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Simple calculation shows that one acre of the native land was paid 145000000/250808=578.13 CAD!

It reminds me to the American bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam war. That time American ambassador to Cambodia summoned the representatives of the families whose members were killed by the bombing in order to pay 100$ per each person killed.

Question. This sentence "For this revision, the Mississaugas were given the amount of ten shillings." means overall payment for all land taken away from the Mississaugas?--A. Perun (talk) 03:29, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
