Treaty 6

Educators play a vital role in naming the history of our nation and how we choose to take action reconciling with it.

Many segments of the public are working together for reconciliation and how to best respond to the 94 calls to action. Of these 94 concrete steps we can take to face our history and start building a better Canada, six are direct calls to educators.

Honoring Treaty 6 helps inspire mutual respect and shared understanding: after all, we are all treaty people. This ritual helps remind us our beginning Nation-to-Nation relationship was one of alliance and sharing.  It encourages our students to be mindful that our ancestors were permitted to begin peaceful settlement of this country because of a Treaty relationship with First Peoples.
