On September 22, 1877, Blackfoot Crossing Treaty 7 was signed between the Crown and the First Nations of the area: Blackfoot (Kainai, Piikani, Siksika), Tsuut’ina (Dene) and Stoney Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney). When Treaty Seven was signed, it became the last in a series of agreements concluded between the Government of Canada and the First Nations of the North-West. More than twenty years would pass before another treaty was made. Treaties were viewed by the Crown as real estate deals and interpreted by the First Nations as peace and friendship agreements and a way to coexist.
Attendees are invited to learn from Treaty 7 members the impacts of the treaties, the broken promises, current realities and titles upheld from the treaty signing process.
