A History of Treaty-Making in CanadaThe treaties the Crown has signed with Indigenous peoples since the 18th century have permitted the evolution of Canada as we know it. These diplomatic proceedings were the first steps in a long process that has led to today's comprehensive claims agreements between the Crown and Indigenous groups. Learn more at the workshop. Guest lecturer: Garret Smith is a graduate of the Centre for Indigenous Theatre. He is also the founder of Mohkinstsis, a healing camp in downtown Calgary, where he created opportunities for Indigenous youth to reconnect to their culture.
