Today - August 23 - is the 150th anniversary of Treaty No. 6.

Today and every day is a meaningful opportunity to remind all people in Treaty No. 6 about what Treaty means and why it’s important.

All peoples, including Indigenous and non-Indigenous, are Treaty Peoples. When we live on Treaty Land, we agree to enter into the terms negotiated in good faith by First Nations Peoples.

150 years later, we are still here.

Still gathering. Still dancing. Still singing our songs. Still carrying our languages, our ceremonies, our teachings and our responsibilities to Treaty.

Our Treaty No. 6 150 Year Commemoration came to a powerful close yesterday in Enoch Cree Nation, where we gathered together in celebration at our Pow Wow.

To the Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Chiefs and leadership, community members, dancers, singers, drummers, volunteers, staff, partners, sponsors and every person who joined us throughout the week - thank you. These celebrations would not have been possible without the many hands, hearts and communities that came together to make them happen.

This week was more than a commemoration of history. It was a reminder that Treaty No. 6 is not something of the past.

Treaty is living. Treaty is forever.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared teachings and helped make the day so special.

It was another great day of gathering, learning and celebrating 150 years of Treaty No. 6.

Leading up to the 150th anniversary of entering into Treaty No. 6, we asked members of the Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 what Treaty means to them.

For Doreen Frencheater of Sunchild First Nation, her understanding of Treaty has been passed down from her grandparents. To her family, Treaty means wîtaskîwin – to live together, to share the land.
