Alberta’s Absence at Treaty Six Anniversary | Calgary News

Grand Chief Joey Pete of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations is furious the Alberta government skipped the 150th anniversary of Treaty Six — a glaring snub he says undermines Indigenous sovereignty and signals disrespect amid critical talks on pipelines and provincial separation. Despite repeated requests, First Nations leaders say they’ve been shut out of consultations, even as officials claim collaboration is underway. The opposition’s shadow minister called the absence “shocking” and damaging to fragile treaty ties, while the minister’s office said Rajan Sawhney was away but remains committed. This event kicks off a week of commemorations, culminating in weekend ceremonies at Fort Carlton, Saskatchewan — where Treaty Six was originally signed.
