Treaty Elders of Saskatchewan: Our Dream Is That Our Peoples Will One Day Be Clearly Recognized as Nations

Treaty Elders of Saskatchewan blends past and present, bringing together the voices of various Saskatchewan Elders to present a holistic view of Indigenous ways of knowing about land, treaties, and relationships. The book’s many photographs (archival and modern) showcase the historical roots of the teachings and how they relate to the lives of contemporary Indigenous people. Some of the vocabulary may require the help of a more experienced reader, but thanks to the short sections, this book could be used in a storytime or group reading context. Educators may wish to review the pronunciation of certain Indigenous language terms that might be unfamiliar to some learners. This work could be used in social studies classes to discuss Indigenous perspectives, and could inspire learners to seek out Indigenous voices on treaties involving Alberta.
