Sources: 12. Developments: 2. The 150th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6 was commemorated on August 23, 2026, with a gathering of Indigenous leaders, politicians, and Crown representatives at Fort Carlton Provincial Historic Park. This site marks where the original agreement was signed in 1876 to establish coexistence between the Crown and various Plains and Wood Cree bands across central Alberta and Saskatchewan. During the ceremony, which included the unveiling of a new monument, officials addressed the historical failures following the treaty’s inception. Governor General Louise Arbour noted that while the treaty recognized a shared relationship with the land, “history has often told a different story,” acknowledging the trauma of residential schools and broken promises. Federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty expressed a commitment to addressing historical injustices and harms. Other prominent figures, including Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, participated in the event. The commemorations served as a platform to recommit to the treaty’s principles of respect and collaboration, moving forward from previous tensions regarding government engagement and dialogue. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-23: Treaty 6 marks 150th anniversary with commemorations at Fort Carlton Leaders and Indigenous chiefs gathered at Fort Carlton to mark the 150th anniversary of Treaty 6, acknowledging past broken promises while committing to a future of coexistence and treaty implementation. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/treaty-6-marks-150-years-since-signing-with-first-nations ### 2026-08-17: Alberta Indigenous leader criticizes government over missed Treaty 6 anniversary An Alberta Indigenous leader criticized the provincial government after the Indigenous Relations Minister missed a ceremony marking the 150th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6 in Edmonton. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alberta-indigenous-leader-criticizes-government-over-missed-treaty-6-anniversary --- Cite as: Treaty 6 150th anniversary commemorations.
