Chapter 6: The Importance of Treaties

Chapter Overview

In this chapter treaties are looked to as living documents that have current obligations for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. That we are all treaty partners with inherent rights and obligations is emphasized. The Elder Teaching — All my Relations, reinforces the interconnectedness of not only all human beings, but all of creation. Reflective questions and activities based on the four quadrants of the Medicine Wheel are provided, along with further recommended material for viewing, listening, and reading.
