Last tab in binder Office of the Treaty Commissioner | 4 Teaching Treaties in the Classroom Preface Welcome to the Treaty Resource Kit – Saskatchewan’s and Canada’s first comprehensive treaty resource designed especially for classroom teaching. This kit is provided by the Office of the Treaty Commissioner (OTC) with the support of our partners: the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan. The Treaty Resource Kit is about taking solid action to build a better future for Saskatchewan. As you will see, a critical component of the kit is this teacher’s guide – Teaching Treaties in the Classroom: Treaty Resource Guide. We have talked for a long time about the importance of education in building understanding and social harmony between First Nations and non-First Nations communities. With this Treaty Resource Kit, the education begins. This kit is designed to help students learn about the treaty relationship as their first step toward understanding the role of treaty in our history, our society and our future. This kit, provided to every school in Saskatchewan, is intended to complement the existing core curriculum. Together with in-service provided by the OTC, it can be helpful in teaching a full range of humanities courses including History, Native Studies, Social Studies, Law and English. It is our greatest hope the Treaty Resource Kit begins a bold new generation of learning in your school and your classroom. The rich history of treaty can now come alive for students from Grades Seven to Twelve. Judge David M. Arnot Treaty Commissioner Office of the Treaty Commissioner | 5 Teaching Treaties in the Classroom Acknowledgements Teaching Treaties in the Classroom: Treaty Resource

    “This Is Our Land!” Indigenous Rhetoric and Resistance on the Northern Plains by Daniel Morley Johnson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Comparative Literature University of Alberta © Daniel Morley Johnson, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines Indigenous rhetorics of resistance from the Treaty Six negotiations in 1876 to the 1930s. Using methods from Comparative Literature and Indigenous literary studies, the thesis situates the rhetoric of northern Plains Indigenous peoples in the context of settler-colonial studies, Indigenous literary nationalism, and Plains Indigenous concepts of nationhood and governance, and introduces the concept of rhetorical autonomy (an extension of literary nationalism) as an organizing framework. The thesis examines the ways Plains Indigenous writers and leaders have resisted settler-colonialism through both rhetorical and physical acts of resistance. Making use of archival and published works, the thesis is a literary and political history of Indigenous peoples from their origins on the northern plains to the period of political organizing after World War I. ii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and thank the Indigenous peoples of Treaty Six who have generously allowed me to live and work here in their territory: I hope this thesis honours your histories, is respectful of your stories, and can – in some small way – contribute to your futures. I am grateful to my doctoral committee for their support and guidance: my supervisor, Professor Jonathan Hart, and committee members and examiners, Professors Keavy Martin, Isabel Altamirano-Jiménez, Ellen bielawski, and Odile Cisneros. I am also grateful to Professor Priscilla Settee of the University of Saskatchewan for serving on my committee as external examiner.

The word ‘Saulteaux’ is a French translation for ‘people of the rapids’, and relates to their original settlement location near a waterway. Originally, the Saulteaux First Nation settled around the Northern Great Lakes region in Ontario. The soil conditions and short growing season made it difficult to farm, as a result their lifestyle was focused on hunting and trading with European settlers. Due to expansion of the fur trade, a portion of the Saulteaux tribe traveled west and settled in Saskatchewan.
