Treaty No. 1 Commemoration

Explore the history surrounding the making of Treaty No. 1. One hundred and forty two years ago, representatives of the Crown, Anishinaabe, and Muskegon Cree peoples made a commitment to each other with the first of the numbered treaties in western Canada. On this day, we have teaching sessions on Treaty One, the meaning of treaty and celebrate First Nation culture.
