17 students from Native Studies at Chief Ahtahkakoop School are on a historic trek to Fort Carlton in honour of the upcoming 150th Anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6.
"By walking in the spirit of reconciliation, our students are not just studying a historical timeline—they are honoring a living agreement, learning our shared responsibilities, and ensuring that the promises of Treaty 6 continue to thrive for generations to come." said Maurice, 70, event organizer.
The students covered an impressive 140 kilometers in 3 days followed by horses, wagon, and support staff on the road.
The walk will conclude with an official closing ceremony at Fort Carlton on Friday, June 19 at 1:00 p.m. In the meantime, walkers will spend the next two days camped at the Fort, the historic site where Treaty 6 was first signed nearly 150 years ago.
