Aug 24, 2017
A group of University of Regina students are taking Indigenous history to the stage this week, nearly 143 years after Cree and Saulteaux chiefs gathered in Fort Qu’Appelle, Sask., to enter into a treaty with the Crown.
The theatre class is the first of its kind. Researching events of the historic agreement, the students developed a performance piece entitled Making Treaty 4.
“The first thing I wanted to do was build a community,” said Jesse Archibald-Barber, a professor at the First Nations University of Canada.
