Indigenous Peoples Experience
Grades 7 & Up
A Treaty is a Promise offers learners an Indigenous perspective on treaties in Canada and a chance to explore what “We Are All Treaty People” means to them. From their encounters with text, photographs, music, and language, learners will gain a deeper appreciation for what Treaty means for all who live in Treaty Territory. This program takes place across multiple eras at Fort Edmonton Park, including the Indigenous Peoples Experience, the 1846 Fort, and 1885 St.
*Please note, topics of residential schools and their continued impact will be discussed in this program.
*This program is developed following the purpose of the Indigenous Peoples Experience: Children of all ages and nations gathering in the spirit of friendship to learn, laugh, and play.
