Treaty Chiefs Demand RCMP Probe on Alberta Referendum

Treaty Chiefs from Treaties Six, Seven, and Eight have launched a fierce demand for an RCMP and auditor general investigation into Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP, accusing them of treasonous actions through a proposed Alberta independence referendum. The chiefs warn the move threatens Canada’s sovereignty, treaty rights, and privacy, citing foreign interference risks and a blatant disregard for constitutional obligations. Smith calls the accusations “disgraceful,” defending her government’s engagement with Indigenous leaders, but chiefs like Trevor Mercredi reject this, saying the UCP lacks true collaboration and dismisses treaty concerns. They seek accountability, clarity on funding and separation impacts, and a functional system that respects their rights — not just private talks but public action — as they feel their constitutional voice is being ignored.
