The “Dish with One Spoon” covenant was originally a treaty between the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe peoples, recognizing how the various peoples (the spoon) must communally and peacefully live off of the land (the dish). In 1701, this covenant was extended to the French settlers and ratified during the “Great Peace of Montreal.”
