Treaty 11
The history and signing of Treaty 11 is a significant milestone to the Dene People following Confederation. This established an economic relationship between the Crown and Indigenous Peoples living in the North. Many to this day commemorate and remember the teachings of negotiations, comprehensive land claims and modern treaties. This was the last treaty of its kind signed on August 22nd 1921.
