Province Misses Treaty 6 Anniversary | Calgary News

Grand Chief Joey Pete of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations is furious the provincial government skipped a major Treaty 6 anniversary event in Edmonton — a glaring snub that sends a dangerous message as Indigenous and provincial relations remain tense. Despite the mayor, lieutenant governor, and federal minister attending, the province’s Indigenous Relations minister was conspicuously absent, even though he was formally invited. Pete warns this absence undermines trust during critical talks on pipelines and governance, while the province claims the minister was out of town but remains committed — a response that falls short for First Nations leaders demanding real engagement. The event kicked off a week of commemorations, including a re-enactment of the treaty signing, reminding all of the enduring stakes in honoring Canada’s foundational agreements.
