Today, Grand Chief Joey Pete met with The Honourable Rebecca Alty (Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations), The Honourable Mandy Gull-Masty (Minister of Indigenous Services), and The Honourable Gregor Robertson (Minister of Housing and Infrastructure) in Ottawa to discuss key priorities for Treaty No. 6, including Alberta separation and long-term reform of First Nations Child and Family Services.

The Grand Chief also extended an invitation to the Ministers to join Treaty No. 6 in August 2026 as we commemorate the 150th anniversary of Treaty No. 6.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue these important discussions and strengthen our relationships.

Rally for Treaty Rights and Unity | Wear Red | Free Event | Everyone Welcome

The Blackfoot Confederacy Chiefs Society is calling on Blackfoot Confederacy members, Treaty Nations, allies, and the public to join a Rally for Treaty Rights and Unity on Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at The Confluence (Former Fort Calgary).

The rally comes at a time when discussions surrounding Alberta's future and potential separation are taking place across the province. For First Nations, these conversations cannot occur without recognition of the Treaties that form the foundation of the relationship between First Nations, the Crown, and all who live on these lands.

Hosted by the Blackfoot Confederacy Chiefs Society, the rally will bring together leadership from the Blackfoot Confederacy, Treaty 6 Nations, and Treaty 8 Nations to reaffirm the importance of Treaty rights, Treaty relationships, and the continued recognition of First Nations as rights holders and partners in the future of this region.

The event will serve as a public demonstration of unity among First Nations and those who support the spirit and intent of Treaty. Speakers will share perspectives on the significance of Treaty, the responsibilities that come with these agreements, and the importance of ensuring First Nations voices remain central in discussions that impact their lands, peoples, and future generations.

The Blackfoot Confederacy Chiefs Society encourages attendees to wear red as a visible show of support and solidarity.

This rally is an opportunity for people from all backgrounds to stand together in support of Treaty, respect, and Nation-to-Nation relationships. It is a chance to send a clear message that Treaty rights matter, First Nations voices matter, and that unity remains stronger than division.

All are welcome to attend.

• Date: Sunday, June 14, 2026
• Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
• Location: The Confluence (Former Fort Calgary) 750 9 Ave SE, Calgary, AB
