Amiskwacîwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ), also known as Edmonton, is the traditional land of Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Métis Nation of Alberta. This place is a traditional meeting ground, gathering place, and travelling route of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux. This session will explore the history of Indigenous presence in the Edmonton area from a variety of perspectives. It will also examine Treaty Six, the gradual dispossession from the land of Indigenous peoples, and will examine what treaty implementation could look like in a contemporary context.
