As part of my research into Treaty history I found the series of videos called – Alberta Treaties Road Trip. The videos follow seven students as they travel across Alberta reflecting on what it means to be Treaty People. I have shared one of the 7 videos in the series below. In it Elder, Clarence Wolfleg shares stories of the signing of Treaty 7 at Blackfoot Crossing. I did not realize the number of different tribes that came together for the signing and that there were 10,000 warriors present. He speaks of the spirit behind the signing from the perspectives of the Indigenous people: that they were not land owners but respected the land, the creator and each other.
