The Treaty 101 Workshop focused on educating, raising awareness, and inspiring our youth about the history of First Nations peoples in Canada pre-Treaty making, Treaty negotiations, etc. Discussions include the Indian Act (1985) as it pertains to the Treaties. Topics also included the history of Treaty Making between First Nations peoples in Canada and the Crown in Right of Canada, and the Treaty relationships. 

The Treaty 101 online training was offered through the Google Class platform under the Samson Cree Nation Head Start website for Samson Cree Nation members. It was well attended with over 40 participants and great feedback over three days in May 2025. We had a very knowledgeable facilitator and co-facilitator who shared insights from a leadership, education, and Treaty perspective.

The Samson Head Start Program-FNCFS Workplan aims to offer traditional and culturally appropriate activities and workshops that promote identity, build resilience and independence, and foster community engagement.  Samson Cree Nation recognizes the importance of Treaty training and the transmission of this knowledge for our youth, our leaders and our tribal members.
