HUMBOLDT — The Humboldt and District Museum is marking the 150th anniversary of Treaty 6 with a new exhibit, examining the history and legacy of one of Western Canada’s most significant agreements between First Nations and the Crown.

A History of Treaty 6 is now on display at the museum and features a narrative timeline built from primary and secondary historical sources. The exhibit explores the events leading up to the signing of Treaty 6, the negotiations themselves and the lasting impacts still felt today, the Humboldt Museum said.

Treaty 6 was signed in 1876 at several locations, including Fort Carlton on Aug. 23, Chief Kamiscowesit’s (Beardy’s) campsite on Aug. 28 and Fort Pitt on Sept. 9.
