Treaties in Saskatchewan
* Watch the video “Treaties as a Bridge” (12 min) on the OTC website. The link to the video is:

* Provide each student with a handout of the Saskatchewan Map that is found below. Students should
label treaty areas and cities using a map of Saskatchewan and the interactive map that is found on the OTC website http://www.otc.ca/ABOUT_TREATIES/Treaty_Map/. The answer key is also provided.
* Activity from page 43 of Treaty Resource for Grade 6 from the Office of the Treaty Commissoner:
Show the students the map “Treaty Boundaries, Location of First Nations and Treaty Sites in Saskatchewan” (Appendix J) to review and identify the Numbered Treaties in Saskatchewan. Ask the students if there is an area in Saskatchewan that is not covered by a treaty. The answer is NO. Show the students where you live (Regina, Saskatoon, Mistawasis First Nations, Pasqua First Nations) and, pointing to where you live, say, “I live in ________. _________ is in the Treaty ___ area, so I am a Treaty _______ person. I am a part of treaty.” Then ask the students where they live and show them the treaty area in which they live. Have them say: “I live in Treaty ___ area and I am a Treaty ___ person. I am a part of treaty.” End by saying: “We are all treaty people.”
* This suggested activity may be adapted by encouraging students to think of a family friend or relative who lives within Saskatchewan but not their hometown. This will enable them to recognize that all people of Saskatchewan are a part of treaty, not just people who live in the same town/city as they do. They can complete the activity attached below. Completed activities may be displayed on a bulletin board under the title "We are all treaty people".
* Use handout of pages 54-57 from Legacy to complete a chart of information on each treaty (a scanned copy of the handout and a document containing the chart for completion are at the bottom of this page).
