Unanimous resolution calls for immediate action by RCMP and Auditor General
June 17, 2026 (Treaty No. 7 Territory) — The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs (AOTC) of Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7, and Treaty No. 8 has unanimously passed a resolution calling for an investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Auditor General into the actions of Premier Danielle Smith and members of the UCP to determine whether they constitute treason under Section 46 of the Criminal Code of Canada (Criminal Code, RSC 1985, c C-46, s 46). The vote took place in a duly convened meeting on Treaty No. 7 Territory in Calgary on June 16, 2026.
We call for this investigation on the basis of the intentional violation of the Treaties; of calling a referendum in the face of severe risks to Canada’s sovereignty and the Treaty Relationship and of failing to take action on the violation of privacy rights of millions of people. Further, Premier Smith and the UCP government have done all this with significant risks of foreign interference and influence.
At the time of Treaty, the Northwest Mounted Police, now the RCMP, committed to ensuring the safety of First Nations and our Territories, and that the Crown guarantees the peace and goodwill mutually promised between First Nations and the Crown in exchange for sharing these Lands.
United, the Chiefs of Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7 and Treaty No. 8 Territories now call for the fulfilment of this commitment in the form of a full investigation.
