Follow The Treaty Table
The mission of the Office of the Treaty Commissioner in Saskatchewan is unique with the Office playing a two-fold role. The first is to support a bi-lateral Treaty Table process between the Government of Canada and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN).
The Treaty Table meets approximately three times per year and has a mandate “to identify options and make recommendations to assist in resolving issues that affect the Treaty relationship, in the following priority areas, including but not limited to:
- Economic independence (including lands and resources; hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering; shelter (housing));
- Justice;
- Education and Child Welfare; and
- Health.”
The second role of the OTC is to advocate for and build a strong relationship between First Nations and non-First Nations people in Saskatchewan to ensure an effective response among Saskatchewan citizens to support a shared destiny.
