August 23, 2025 marks the 149th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6. Holyrood Community is hosting “Treaty 6 Recognition Day” that day, in the Holyrood Park Green Space (95 Avenue & 80 St). Tipi set up 8-10am; Blessing Ceremony 10-12 noon; Community Fire offering & Bannock/Tea; Tipi Time 1-2pm. All are welcome. Bring your good hearts, open minds, and helping hands. Please join them to participate as Treaty People. It is beneficial to reflect on what Canada’s representatives agreed to when they entered into this treaty relationship, and to consider what that means for each of us. In the article “How to Be a Better Treaty Person”, author Amei-lee Laboucan emphasizes that continual learning, asking questions, and referring to Indigenous-authored resources are all steps we can take.
