    RETHINKING TREATY SIX IN THE SPIRIT OF MISTAHI MASKWA (BIG BEAR) Neal McLeod Department of Indian Studies Saskatchewan Indian Federated College University of Regina Regina, Saskatchewan Canada, S4S OA2 Abstract I Resume The numbered Treaties in western Canada were negotiated between the British Crown and the Nehiyawak (Cree), Anishinabek (Sau~>t) and Nakota in the 1870s. These Treaties were made in order to haJJ> peopl~\live together in peace and to share the resources of the land. trea..... t.. y Six 'fias the largest Treaty and covered most of central Saskatchew~fl~tperta. VVhile many Cree leaders within this area accepted the tenns offered by the Crown, others such as Mistahi Maskwa resisted and sought better terms. By examining Treaty Six through the struggle of Mistahi Maskwa, new perspectives about the moral foundations of Canada arise in terms of both the past and the present. Les traites numerotes de l'Ouest canadien ont ete negociee par la Couronne britannique et les Cris, les Saulteaux et les Nakotas dans les annees 1870. Ces traites ont ete signes pour aider les peuples iii vivre ensemble pacifiquement et iii partager les ressources territoriales. Le Traite numero six, Ie plus important, couvrait la majeure partie du centre de la Saskatchewan et de l'Alberta. Bien que de nombreux chefs cris de cette region aient accepte les termes offerts par la Couronne, d'autres comme Mistahi Maskwa (Grand Ours) ont resiste et cherche iii obtenir de meilleurs tennes. L'analyse du Traite numero six, au regard de la lutte de Mistahi Maskwa, souleve de nouvelles perspectives sur les fondements morauxdu Canada tant dans Ie passe que de nos jours.
