Treaty No.6 (1876)

The sixth of eleven numbered agreements between the Canadian government and various communities of indigenous people, treaty No 6 dealt with the rights to 120,000 square miles of land in what is now Alberta and Saskatchewan. the treaty was concluded at Forts Carlton and Pitt (near present-day Lloydminster) in 1876. Many indigenous groups, including the Chief of the Plains Cree Minahikosis, found it inadequate because it contained no guarantees against the imposition of an alien culture.
