Treaty 10 was signed in 1906 to facilitate the expansion of European settlement and resource extraction in what is now northern Saskatchewan and parts of Alberta. It aimed to secure land for the Canadian government while providing Indigenous peoples with certain rights, including the promise of reserve lands and hunting and fishing rights. The treaty was part of a broader effort to assimilate Indigenous populations and manage their lands amid increasing pressure from settlers. Ultimately, it sought to establish a framework for coexistence, albeit one that often favored colonial interests over Indigenous sovereignty.
