…Idle No More, cont. from page 3 relations between First Nations and non-First Nations people here in Saskatchewan? I play a small role in what the Office of the Treaty Commissioner does, but it is a role, and one of the things the Office has been able to accomplish is that it’s now compulsory in Saskatchewan to teach treaties in
the classroom, and we’re the only province in Canada that does that, so from Kindergarten all the way up to Grade 9, they’re actually teaching treaties in the classroom, so what that involves is even the teachers have to learn, and this has been going on for five to seven years now. More

and more residents of Saskatchewan are having a much [better] understanding about the treaties and what role they have in our country, and even though they’re every separate issues, this Idle No More movement, it actually started in Saskatchewan, and it’s taken a lot of the country by storm – it’s even international now, and I don’t know if [treaty education in the schools] has something to do with it, but I wouldn’t be surprised. What does it mean that we are all ‘treaty people’? What it means is being able to benefit from the treaties, that all parties to the treaty benefit, and as a result of that benefit, we move together to build this new coun-
try, and the country that we’re building is called Canada. The sad reality in our country here is that many, many First Nations people simply live in poverty, and that shouldn’t be – if those treaties would have been honoured to begin with, we wouldn’t have the social demographics that exist and plague one certain group of Canadian people. It’s very complex, the issues surrounding those [statistics], but that’s a very sad reality in our country. There are some reserves that actually live in Third World conditions, and this is what a lot of Canadian people don’t understand - “Why can’t the people help themselves?” A lot of money gets sent to them, they’re funded, and they’re still . . . and

this is what I try and talk about – understanding - and people can understand it a lot better than before I presented to them anyway, so it’s a start. In the face of such intransigent problems, what do you say to people who have simply given up hope that things will ever change? My simple answer, is that for a 137 years, the Treaty Six hasn’t been followed, basically, so to think that we’re going to fix it overnight – it’s going to take a long time. These problems didn’t [just] pop up, they’ve been in the making over a century and there’s systemic structure involved here, and that’s what we’re trying to address. So it takes time, and we ask for patience

and understanding, but change is happening and positive change is taking place. More First Nations people are getting an education, more of them are getting into the work force, more of them are going back to their traditional ways, more of them are escaping poverty, more so and more so, and they’re building their communities – their communities are becoming well, and these communities, some of them – they’re actually leaders and they’re helping not only themselves, but [also] the surrounding communities that aren’t First Nations, and it’s really rewarding to see that. That’s what we want to do. That’s the road we want to walk on, all of us. That’s what I’ve seen.
