The City of Edmonton created Treaty Six Recognition Day in 2013 to commemorate the signing of Treaty No.6 between the Plains and Wood Cree people and the Crown at Fort Carlton on August 23, 1876.
Edmonton was founded in Treaty No. 6 territory. Treaty Six Recognition Day recognizes Edmonton's connection with the First peoples of this land.
Treaty Six Recognition Day is planned in partnership by the City of Edmonton, through its Aboriginal Relations Office (ARO), and the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations. Treaty Six Recognition Day is one of a range of initiatives shared between the City and the Confederacy. The working relationship between the organizations was formalized through the Memorandum of Cooperation and Dialogue in 2012.
