Treaty 6 marks 150 years, with ties to Alberta’s legislature

The Speaker of Alberta’s Legislative Assembly marked the 150th anniversary of Treaty 6, signed in 1876. The statement emphasizes the treaty’s continuing significance and the importance of understanding and respect in relationships between First Nations and the Crown.

The Assembly gathers on Treaty 6 territory and reads a land acknowledgement at the start of each sitting week. A Treaty Six Monument on the legislature grounds commemorates the treaty and the relationships it represents.
