“When we look at the Treaty Land Sharing Network, coming together across opposing views… it is an act of reconciliation that requires action, and requires non-Indigenous land title holders to put something into this relationship.”

As Michelle Brass of Yellow Quill First Nation explains in this video, accessing land to pick berries, to hunt, or for ceremonial purposes can be a life or death situation for Indigenous people. Together with Nettie Wiebe of Maida Vale Farms, she talks about the importance of speaking up publicly when it comes to land sharing and safe land access for Indigenous people.

Treaty 4 was negotiated 150 years ago as a promise between Indigenous Nations and the British Crown to enact a relationship of mutual respect and reciprocity. While the principles of this Treaty relationship remain strong, there are many Treaty promises yet to be honoured. Restoring access to land so that Indigenous Peoples can safely exercise their rights and responsibilities is vital to upholding Treaty agreements, and landholders have a crucial part in this. In this video, Michelle Brass of Yellow Quill First Nation and Nettie Wiebe of Maida Vale Farms discuss how government policies have made access to land more difficult and more dangerous, and what members of the Treaty Land Sharing Network are doing about it. As Treaty people we can work together to be good Treaty partners and enact the principles of Treaty daily by honouring the Treaty relationship, each other, and the land.
