Wahbanosay's signature, from the text of the Toronto Purchase.

Wahbanosay (Waabanose in the Fiero spelling, meaning "Walks in the Dawn")(fl. 1778 - d. 1806) was a Mississaugas chief of the Eagle doodem, in the Burlington, Ontario area. He was the negotiator for the Mississaugas of the Gunshot treaty in 1783. Wahbanosay was also a signatory to land surrender #8 in 1797 of lands in the Burlington Heights area, the Toronto Purchase in 1805, and Surrender #14, which surrendered additional lands in the Burlington area in 1806.[1]

During the 1790s, Wahbanosay had worked as a guide for Deputy Surveyor General Augustus Jones, who married his daughter Tuhbenahneequay. The couple had two children; John Jones and Peter Jones.[1]
