March 6 will mark 150 days leading up to the 150th anniversary of Treaty No. 1. Entered into on August 3, 1871, 'The Stone Fort Treaty' was made between the Anishinaabe and Cree and the Crown. Treaty 2 was made at Manitoba House eighteen days later on August 21. Commemorations like the sesquicentennials of Treaties No. 1 and No. 2 help to prod collective memory, provide opportunities for school communities to explore significant historical events, and act as reminders to honour the promises made in the past. How will you and your students commemorate these anniversaries?
