Treaty 1, signed in 1871, is one of the first treaties between the Canadian government and Indigenous peoples, specifically the Anishinaabe and Swampy Cree nations. It established a framework for land use and rights in exchange for promises of financial compensation, education, and other benefits. The treaty area encompasses parts of present-day Manitoba, including Winnipeg. A fun fact is that Treaty 1's signing took place at Fort Garry, a significant historical site that played a crucial role in early Canadian history.
