We are all Treaty People
Treaties are not a thing of the past; they are living agreements with current obligations. We are all treaty people, and it is our responsibility to become educated on what it means to be a treaty partner.
To gain more knowledge of what it means to be a treaty person, see We are all Treaty People, a video that promotes Treaty Education within the Mi’kma’ki Territory (Nova Scotia).
Consider as you view the video:
- Who are the Indigenous people of the land I am on?
- Why are treaties important?
- What happened to the treaty relationship?
- How can we reconcile our shared history?

For an example of how the Health Sciences Association of Alberta (HSAA) is partnering with local Indigenous nations to work towards reconciliation by learning to live and work as treaty people, see Treaty Walk: A Journey for Common Ground (2020).
