The office of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations was created in the spring of 1993. Its purpose: to serve as the united political voice for our Member Nations, because they believe that there is a need for fundamental treaty and human rights of First Nations people to be protected. 

The Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations is dedicated to ensuring that the terms, spirit, and intent of Treaty Six are honoured and respected. The right of First Nations to self-determination must be honoured and respected - this includes the right to choose their own government and political structures, and to determine and direct the social, cultural, spiritual, and economic advancement of their people.

​

• Monitoring legislation's and policies that affect treaty rights 

• Assisting the First Nations to develop treaty positions, policies, and programs 

• Educating people about treaties, through acting as a clearing house of information
