The author argues that, while Mennonites and Indians seemed to benefit mutually from contact, on the longer term their interests clashed and the Indians were forced to leave the European settlements. Although Mennonites considered themselves superior to other settlers in promoting peace and stability, some Mennonite individuals made and sold whisky and, collectively, Mennonites deprived the Mississaugas of their land base. Mennonites also took part in "forcing the Mississaugas out of their community and out of their historical memory."}, year = {1995}, journal = {Ontario History}, volume = {87}, number = {Journal Article}, pages = {155-172, }, language = {English}, }
