Treaty 6 150th
In 1876, First Nations and the Crown entered into Treaty 6 at Fort Carlton on August 23rd, Chief Kamiscowesit’s (Beardy’s) Campsite on August 28th, and Fort Pitt on September 9th.
Join us August 20 – 23, 2026 at Fort Carlton Provincial Historic Park to commemorate the 150th anniversary of this historic agreement. This milestone offers a profound opportunity to reflect on our shared history, honour the Spirit and Intent of Treaty, and reaffirm our commitment to its ongoing implementation for future generations.

“When I hold your hand and touch your heart, let us be as one.”
