Welcome to Treaty 1 introduces the history of Treaty-making in what is now Manitoba, encouraging participants to reflect on the spirit and intent of Treaty relationships and what it means for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Manitobans today. Through artifacts, exhibitions, and stories, this 1.5 hour guided tour examines the history, contemporary relevance, obligations, and responsibilities for those living on Treaty 1 territory. The numbered Treaties, as binding agreements between the Crown and Indigenous peoples, were, are, and always will be, an important part of Manitoba history and life.

Welcome to Treaty 1 is a new public program that the Manitoba Museum has developed in collaboration with Indigenous community leaders, the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba (TRCM), the Council of Elders of the Association of Manitoba Chiefs and the TRCM, community experts, and academics; their voices will be heard within the program through video presentations.

Cost: $17 General Admission (includes admission to the Museum Galleries before or after the program) $10 Members
