"It is my hope, and the hope of the Office of the Treaty Commissioner, that this publication can help provide the historical context needed to intelligently and respectfully forge new relations between First Nations people and non-Aboriginal people in the province of Saskatchewan. It has already done so, in part, by facilitating the work of our office in bringing together the parties of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations and Canada to reach common understandings and to use the Treaties as a bridge from the past to the future ... so that we can learn from the past and work together towards a future built on co-operation and mutual respect." Judge David M. Arnot, Treaty Commissioner for Saskatchewan "We were told that these treaties were to last forever. The government and the government officials, the Commissioner, told us that, as long as the grass grows, and the sun rises from the east and sets in the west, and the river flows, these treaties will last." Treaty 6 Elder Alma Kytwayhat "We say it's our Father; the White man says "our Father" in his language, so from there we should understand that he becomes our brother and we have to live harmoniously with him. There should not be any conflict, we must uphold the word 'witaskewin,' which means to live in peace and harmony with one another." Elder Jacob Bill

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; At the heart of this book is the notion that treaties are more than paper and ink as per the British tradition. The treaties are more than the exacting words that are passed on from the Elders of one generation to the future elders of the next generation. Historically, they served as building blocks for our country. Today, the treaties continue to shape how we, as the descendants of the original signatories, co-exist. This book reminds us of our shared heritage. Seller Inventory # 005208
