Treaty 6 chiefs meeting with premier

Dec 14, 2022 | 11:09 AM

Chiefs from Treaty 6 territory say they are meeting for the first time today with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

The chiefs say in a statement that the meeting was scheduled before Smith became premier this fall.

They have been calling on Alberta to scrap its sovereignty act, which they say is an infringement on treaty rights.

The chiefs say today’s meeting with Smith will not be considered appropriate consultation on the act.
