Treaty 6 was signed 150 years ago. First Nations worry a push for Alberta independence puts it at risk

First Nations communities in Treaty 6 territory are commemorating the 150th anniversary of the 1876 agreement with the Crown, but they're increasingly concerned about the implications of Alberta's push for independence. Many worry that this movement could undermine the historic treaty rights and protections established in 1876. The treaty was meant to ensure mutual understanding and respect between the First Nations and the Crown, and now, some fear that the potential secession could jeopardize these longstanding agreements and the rights that come with them.
