Treaty Elders of Saskatchewan: Our Dream is that Our People Will One Day Be Recognized as Nations

Treaty Elders of Saskatchewan brings together the voices many Saskatchewan elders to provide a truly Indigenous perspective on treaties and treaty rights.

The comments recorded here provide a wealth of context and understanding for wide-ranging topics ranging from conceptions of the land, living together, scared promises to one another, and evolving interpretations of Treaty Rights. (Publisher)
