Mar 2, 2026
EDMONTON — Treaty 8 leaders, whose territory includes First Nations across northern Alberta and the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo region, are taking a prominent role in a unified vote of non-confidence against the Alberta government, joined by chiefs from Treaty 6 and Treaty 7.
The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs announced the unanimous decision following a gathering this week, saying the province has failed to uphold treaty relationships and has contributed to what leaders described as a growing climate of political instability and division.
Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi said chiefs felt compelled to act after what they describe as repeated concerns over treaty rights and constitutional obligations.
