Treaty and Youth

More than 110 students, teachers, and others piled into the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon on Oct. 29 for the final event in the 2026 Office of the Treaty Commissioner Speaker Series – Treaty for Youth.

Three OTC staff, Eli Worme, Maria Hirsi, and Callie McDonald, spoke about the significance of commemoration 150 years of Treaty 6 and about the significance of Treaty to young adults.

“The Session was wonderful. Our panelists were very knowledgeable and it was relatable for the students,” said Elaine Sutherland, OTC Director of Education. “There were lots of good questions at the end.”

An additional 250 people joined online.

During 2026, the OTC partnered with Western Development Museum, to host a series of events covering topics including, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2Spirit, the impacts of residential schools, and Indigenous Storytelling month.
