Treaty 7 And The Impact On The Blackfoot Peoples - October 6, 2022 - Micah Quinn

Treaty 7 and its impact on the Blackfoot people was discussed on Thursday at a SACPA session. Treaty 7 was signed in 1877 after two years of talks as the current Canadian government hoped to build the railway across Indigenous land. Dr. Mike Bruised Head, a University of Lethbridge professor, and the great-great-grandson of Red Crow, who was Chief of the Kainai people at the time said that the ramifications of Treaty 7 were not kind to the Blackfoot people.

Bruised Head adds that the Blackfoot were misinformed by the settlers as they preferred an oral agreement compared to the written one that was drawn up.
