Łuéchogh Túé Newsletter March 2026 – Cold Lake First Nations

Cold Lake First Nations (CLFNS) stood alongside leaders from across Treaties 6, 7 and 8 as the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs took the historic step of declaring a vote of non-confidence in the Government of Alberta and the United Conservative Party (UCP).

The resolution was passed during the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs Winter Sitting held February 2026, on Treaty No. 6 Territory. Chiefs from across the three Treaty territories gathered to address growing concerns about the province’s relationship with First Nations and its obligations under Treaty and the Constitution.

The resolution states that the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs has lost trust and confidence in the Government of Alberta due to what leaders describe as a continued failure to understand, respect, and uphold Treaty-based constitutional responsibilities. The vote was unanimous and represents a rare and historic step by First Nations leadership.
