A week-long gathering in southern Saskatchewan is reflecting on Treaty 4, marking the past and celebrating the future.
Treaty 4 was signed on Sept. 15, 1874, between the Cree, Assiniboine, Saulteaux and the Crown. The agreement covers about 195,000 square kilometres of territory, including most of southern Saskatchewan.
The annual gathering has been recognizing the signing of Treaty 4 for the past 30 years. The main location is at the Treaty 4 grounds in Fort Qu’Appelle, but there are events in other locations like Yorkton and Balcarres.
