Confederacy of Treaty 6 First Nations (Alberta)
The Confederacy of Treaty 6 First Nations was founded in 1993 to act on behalf of the First Nations of
Treaty 6 in a number of capacities. One of the main goals of the organization is to ensure that the
original terms and intent of the treaty are honoured by the government. New legislation that may affect or
violate treaty rights is closely monitored by the Confederacy. The Confederacy also advocates for the
right of First Nations to self-determination and control over their own governments and political
structures. By working together with other organizations, international agencies, and the Chiefs and
Elders of the member nations, the Confederacy of Treaty 6 First Nations hopes to educate First Nations and
the public about treaty rights and to ensure that the terms of the original treaty are met and respected.
