Indigenous history on Treaty 6 territory in Alberta

In consultation with Indigenous elders and community members, we have created several maps of the Treaty 6 territory to celebrate and learn more about Indigenous culture and history. Each point on the map is of historic significance and contains a description of the place, with additional resources for further learning. The maps include Treaty 6 in relation to Alberta and Saskatchewan, Treaty 6 in Alberta, Edmonton, Edmonton core, the Wabamun/Lac Ste. Anne area and Maskwacs.

This learning guide is intended to be partnered with the "CBC Edmonton Indigenous History on Treaty 6 Territory in Alberta" map project. This project was imagined to be one starting point for building a bridge towards truth and reconciliation. Please use these interactive maps and this guide as tools to begin your learning journey or to encourage your continuing educational path.
